looks like a 50th anniversary model

toms68cst · 11-18-2003, 10:33 AM

Looks more like the saddle color to me. Hard to tell though.

I wonder how bad that rust really is. On the plus side it looks pretty untouched.

mark460 · 11-18-2003, 10:51 AM

That is cheap? Looks like it has a lot of rust.

Dan72cst · 11-18-2003, 11:20 AM

I would have to guess on the saddle color as well the dash pad is dark and door panels arm rest etc are beige

The owner says minimal rust, look at the pass side rocker, it is about to fall off.

Chuck, it's all relative. Relative to the amount of salt used on the roads. This truck here had a "rusty" frame but an "easy fix"

Hotrodhenryj · 11-18-2003, 12:39 PM

Jeff, I have a new respect for you guy in the rust belt, seems I'm spoiled. Bought a parts truck from Ohio with a posi, took me 4hrs to remove. Torched the Ubolts, still wouldn't come out, perches were rust welded to the trailing arms. Had to use my air chisel to seperate them. Rockers had been fixed with the foam stuff, what a mess. If I had to deal with that everytime I had to work on a truck I would find a new hobby. You guys need to move, what could be holding you all there, not the weather I hope. LOL

Anyway what did you get from that pearl, here is a pic of my first and last rusty truck. Please don't tell me its worth saving. YUCK

Longhorn Man · 11-19-2003, 12:11 AM

Yeah, tell me about teh rust. My ride has only been here a couple years and I can see its skin falling off.

Sweet looking longhorn...not a 50th, but still, cool nonethe less.

Hotrodhenryj · 11-19-2003, 10:45 AM

Jeff, I guess you really did make out well. I got the rear and some nice interior stuff as well. Removed the whole front crossmember and tilt wheel. I guess it was all worth it. This cab had the high hump with factory installed SB. Guess there is exceptions to every rule.

Longhorn Man · 11-20-2003, 02:16 AM

was it a 4 speed?
You talkin bout the one CPNE parted...4X4's all had high humps.
Or am I confused?

Hotrodhenryj · 11-20-2003, 11:12 AM

No this cab still had the glove box sticker was a high hump and had small block and auto installed from the factory. Was a super Cheyenne also, so I guess there is exceptions to every rule.

Longhorn Man · 11-21-2003, 12:29 AM

yeah, i been trying to figure why my 69 GMS has a high hump...it was originally a 305 v-6 with a TH350...2 wheel drive.
