Bought a one owner 75 C10! Yeah, it's beat..

[HeavyD]

FB provided this gem while working near Estevan, Saskatchewan. Always wanted a Spring Green 75/76, and this happens to be a 75 Scottsdale with a (running) 3504V and (cooked)Th350.
Good news is that it isn't that bad rust wise, obviously box is tough and one fender bad, but the floors are intact and even the rockers are solid, a real rarity for this area.
Bad news is the thing is pretty beat up from farming and animals using it for a scratching post. If door dents can be corrected I can use them, needs hood, fender work, and a box for sure.
Bought off the original owner who is in ailing health for $500, his wife wanted it out of the yard now, he bought it new in 75 and would like to see it live again.
No I have not touched my 71 Lime truck after 19 years, no I didn't need this, but here it is.

*can't figure how to make all pics face same way..anyone?
*also, anyone know what that knobless pull lever is in last pic? From GM??

That lever is for the emergency brake. You're missing the little T handle that goes on there.

[too much stuff]

A little buffing and a trans and you are good to go.

Don't see any rust spots that can't be fixed with repair pieces. If what you are after is a 20ft look restoration, that bed rail might be fixable with a BFH and a backstop. Same for the doors.

Lose the glue on molding, that can be a rust magnet, at least mine was.

2nd on that rod being part of the park brake. Stomp on pedal to set, pull on missing T-handle to release.

Thanks for fixing the pics..
Geez should have caught the brake release part, doh.
Yes most c10s up here are crusty beyond belief, the rockers on here are solid but need paint now or they won't be there much longer. Idea is to patch it up some, big cleanup, trans, and get it to drive after sticking some of my parts stash on it. Looking forward to actually being able to drive something instead of talking about it like my other one.

Inner door rust isn't nearly as bad as any of my 71 pieces, and if the dents can be massaged a couple small patches on outside should do it..insides are better than hoped and the floor is even good. Must have spent more time on farmyard and less on road getting killed with salt.

Oh, been looking at options for this year..are my door panels supposed to be a parchment like the seat or pale green and faded? Look white but I can't find that option for 75 interior. Have original book and paperwork for truck but spid feel out of glovebox at some point.
