Re: Anticipation.....
Went and looked at it and it took me about a nanosecond to seal the deal!!
  This thing is like it's stuck in a 70's time warp. Only major rust issues are the rockers (which were included) cab corners, tailgate and the frame horn cab mounts, other than that it's perfect with all the little chips and nicks collected over the years. Original paint, interior, engine (6 with a 3 on the tree). I'll just let the pics do the talking.

Re: Anticipation.....
The guy even had the original radio blockoff plate. Who keeps those things that long??! lol
 Parts, did I mention it came with parts?  The bowtie on these hubcaps still stand tall with original paint.  Books, paperwork, stamping plate with original owners name? Check. Not sure what they did with that??  One rip in the seat. Think I'll keep it that way but try to prevent it from getting any worse.  Cool 70's Stewart Warner gauges? Check They're staying -as they still work!

Re: Anticipation.....
These were all the rage in the 70's. Think I'm gonna put the original ones back on though.

Re: Anticipation.....
As for the mechanicals? The truck has been parked since 1985 up til 2 weeks ago. Owner soaked the cylinders, put on a new fuel pump, plugs and it fired right up. Doesn't smoke, actually runs quite well. Drove it around the farm a bit -slowly- as it has no brakes. Right now it's running out of a gas can as the guy wasn't sure about the tank.
First up is to take the tank out and flush it, do the brakes and check all the other seals, etc. Hope to take it to a few cruise nights yet this Fall. This is actually gonna be a make believe service truck for a 70's style gas station I'm building on the farm. I'll start a project thread soon. |
