Just unloaded her off the flatbed. I'd been looking for a solid driver that needed some work, but found this one on Craig's List for about 2K more than rough original trucks, and it was local. The truck is from Bakersfield, CA, so it's RUST FREE. PO did a frame off about 10 years ago, so it's still super clean, although it's picked up a few small scratches and dents. Engine alone (an early 60s 235) had $3500 into it (all receipts came with the truck), and it only has about 2000 miles on it. Almost everything is new. Still needs a bit of love, like bed wood, wipers, heater, etc. but it's a driver as-is.
Still has the original torque tube rear and sm420 4 sped, so there will be some updating in the future to make it highway worthy.
Patience paid off in this case. Can't wait for the summer!!!
