There was not a usable body panel on the truck. Motor was junk. It had been sitting in a field for 15yrs.

I was able to use the dash, differential, salvaged a ton of useful hardware (my shortbox has been in pieces for over a decade, lots of pieces missing) The doors went to a fellow member for his Blazer project. Even the frame body mounts were in good shape so I kept them too.

Eventually you'll realize that you can't save them all. I currently have 7 trucks plus my bike. There is no room for a rusted out P.O.S.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Haha yeah true...I always keep on to everything as long as I can


Did you tell the Previous Owner :/

Sure did, I bought it as a package deal with this 65'. He knew exactly what my intentions were. I don't see any point in lying about stuff like that.

[SCHRUMGMC]

I wonder if he misses it LOL

Hey, theres a little blond kid in your driveway trying to steal your engine!

[SCHRUMGMC]

He will grow up to Love Trucks I bet

I sure hope so, as it stands now he has a fit if we try and go out without taking the Blazer. I consider that a good start.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Haha yeah,Will he inherit them Trucks one day ??

Between him and his two sisters, yes. But not till I can no longer drive them. In the mean time they'll have to build thier own, I'll help of course.

[SCHRUMGMC]

Yeah I hear you...I wish someone would build help me build a Truck with me

[MattBMiller]

Going to build a Western Hauler style bed for it so I can still pull a gooseneck. Swapping in disc brake axles and a Cummins/6 spd. Going to use it as a hot rod hauler.

K Because I can still see some black wanted to Make sure

[chevydog66]

Yes, the black fades over time. My grill is a repop and 3 years old. The black paint is rough and doesn't stick well because it is painted over the chrome.
