That's a cool truck (except for the wasps I hate those nasty little buggers) what are your plans?

68Gold/white · 05-23-2016, 03:47 PM

Have you picked out a river to dump the 6 banger into yet?

ha! ha!

the plan is to keep it original (won't be too hard), get it cleaned up, and get it road worthy...

- new dash pad
- oem radio knobs
- oem mirror head
- new master cyl and purge brake lines
- intake/exhaust manifold gaskets
- new battery/fluids/filters/belts, etc
- new gas cap
- touch up the hub caps
- and a ton of scrubbing, buffing, and polishing

**72 Super** · 05-23-2016, 07:15 PM

That will be a great run around truck. I would drive just as it sits. Maybe some different wheels. Very nice find.

Love this truck! Your plan is exactly what I would do to it too!

flashed · 06-10-2016, 08:56 AM

Wow ,that bad boy is cleaning up nicely .

**68bowtie** · 06-11-2016, 08:26 PM

thanks. it's a LOT of work, but it's very satisfying bringing a truck this original (and rust free) back to life.

original floor mat...

thanks. that's the original mat. i scrubbed it with soapy water and an sos pad, then worked in some trim restoring compound with a stiff bristled brush. if you look close you can see a few tears.

If you decide to get rid of the air assembly I have been looking all over the place for one like that? I have a straight six 1970 Chevy C10. Thanks

**72 Super** · 06-23-2016, 10:02 AM

Anymore updates on your truck?

Barnfind46 · 06-23-2016, 10:16 AM

**68bowtie** · 06-23-2016, 11:28 AM
