Yes she's rusty but fully operational!She also has 232,000 miles on her!
I had said to another CW member a long time ago that I was going to work on getting her out and running again and after 15 years of setting and lots of tinkering I can jump in her and take off!
I plan to make more non-cosmetic improvements to it.I learned how to drive in this truck many years ago!If I restored it,I would have to replace everything,so I think I will leave the outside alone.Only adding a satin clear-coat to lock in the "patina" and restore the chassis/drivetrain/etc.,etc..
This truck was bought new in our small town by a relative and traded in in 1974,my dad bought it and the dealership he worked at used it as the shop truck(hence the push bumper)it is also a rare 8 foot long step-side bed,1 of about 8,000 made in 3/4 ton trucks.
Thanks for looking and enjoy!
My dad had one like this i remember the wooden bed rails he put on to haul more stuff with. A classic truck with great character. Mine is a 94 step side im going to keep an restore ,22 yrs old already time flies.
Love the patina!
Love it. Looks great just how it is. The lights on top of the cab are a nice touch.
