I would at least keep the orig engine and parts. You may not care about the originality but if you ever sell, many buyers would kill for originality in a lower miles good original condition truck.

Good deal for what you paid! Well optioned, 350, AMFM PS, PB, AC, Cheyenne, Black!

Yeah...that grille looks like crud man...as does the bumper and paint on the fender....and the woodgrain trim. Definitely a high mileage beater

Great score!!! You could sell the grille, trim, and radio for more than your investment!!! (not that you'd want to)

Unless your insane...keep that truck OEM !

Great find

fwells67 · 11-08-2011, 03:14 PM

i will keep the block and heads but that is about it. he changed out some stuff so it was not all stock to begin with motor wise but atleast someone would have the matching numbers block and heads

stomper · 11-08-2011, 04:03 PM

Exciting find! No doubt low mileage but neglected truck. Looks like it has corvette rally disc brake caps on it? If so, just curious how those are mounted? Converted to 5 x 4-3/4? Disc caps on truck rallys?

VA72C10 · 11-08-2011, 05:28 PM

Such a shame someone didn't shut the hood years ago...

new rome outside 270 and west broad street about 8 minutes from the old jegs on grener rd. would be good to get together with the trucks when i get the transplant done

BMERDOC · 11-08-2011, 09:37 PM

Yeah the SPID is mint! If nothing else the glovebox door is low mileage! Enjoy that truck! Let us see it polished up!

rsavage · 11-08-2011, 10:20 PM

Congrats. I think you got a really good deal for 2K. A little detail work and some work getting the motor unstuck and running and you will have a truck worth 3 times what you paid. I'd suggest pulling the heads. It doesn't take much rust in a cylinder bore to stick it. Lots easier to see which cylinder(s) and crocus the rust off the walls from the top.
