Thanks 2-Ton, and Justhorsenround! Question, what topic does questions about obtaining truck parts go under? Like whats best source ect? Also I saw mentioned a garage thread? Pardon my newbieness but I don't see that either. Here is a better pic of the truck and us the day we bought her. The wife named her Baby because of the baby blue paint I really don't know but I'm sticking to that. It has a supposedly original 283, 3 on the tree, a new complete wiring harness, overhauled original brakes (work okay). Heater core has been reworked. new 2 spd electric wiper conversion kit. New fuel tank system, tank,filler neck, sending unit. Electronic ignition from Pertronix Flame Thrower. New shocks and new 16" cooper tires . Whats not working is the speedometer, or the gauges. They hooked up a set of three pod gauges under dash. The defrosters are not hooked up to new fan box. Ducts and passenger side manifold is missing. The drivers door handle key is missing but the doors lock fine. The bed wood is deteriorated and someone put a sheet of steel over it and tack welded it in place.
So you can tell this truck is a driver. We do want to fix some things but I dont know if we'll do a frame off or not. The underside has some rust but not anything that makes you alarmed. It looks to me like this truck has been kept inside most of its life. It has tipical DIY bondo on the cab corners and lower fenders and above the headlights, but not too awful. My hope is we can have some fun fixing little things and drive it to a few meets in the area..
