Hey guys,
Because of the past year of driving my truck, and finding out how full of holes and bondo it really is, I caved, and started looking for another one. I found another 61 and had a look at it today. Can't give any pics of it, but it is on Kijiji under Calgary, although the truck is in Radium BC.
It's got 60,000 miles, inline six with three speed, rear end completely rebuilt. The body on it is very solid to my understanding...the front fenders are rusted on the bottoms, but could be fixed with just some small patch panels. The doors will need work, and the drivers rocker needs to be replaced. One floor support on the back pass side is rotted, but the rest seem to look fine. There's a small hole in the floor on passenger front. Rest of the truck is faded, has that "patina" look, so it's ugly compared to the one I have, but very solid. The hood, cab (except driver's rocker) and box are nearly perfect. It will likely need a different set of tires and some exhaust work done before I could drive it three hours home. He's asking $3500 for it (keep in mind, this is Canada...) I paid $3000 for the prettier but less solid one I have now. But that one does have the 283, which I was told is worth something.
Just wanted to tell you guys, see what you think about it. I can't park two trucks here, would have to get rid of the blue one before anything.
