Just picked up a 1976 2wd stepside pickup as my property vehicle/project.
350ci engine runs smooth and strong
automatic 3 speed runs strong
Brakes are very good
Ah but the rest.
Number one on the fix list:
Heater core replacement and heater motor replacement. Up here in the NW there is no getting by without heat to the cab.
Next will come the exhaust. It has a couple of cherry bombs, one with a tail pipe that does not reach outside the truck, and the other that has no tail pipe. Bet you can guess what that smells like in the cab.
Tons of other functional repairs before I can even consider beautification
