Needs a little work but a good find none the less. Took 30 minutes to trim the ivy to get the door to open. This is my first "Barn find". http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2472603400101465522HbCbxF | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 460 | Very cool truck, tri!

Gonna make some awesome before and after pics. Ok I gotta ask, tell me about the GMC Dump.. Mongo | | | | | Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 41 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Jan 2008 Posts: 41 | Way cool! I especially like photos 11 & 12 (dscf1086 and 1087). Any way that you can email those to me? I'd love to add those to my screensaver pictures!

Think of all the people that drive by it all those years & never had a clue they were 20 feet from treasure. I would strongly recommend you pull the gas tank, lines & fuel pump, give them a good cleaning along with the carb before you try to start it. If there was any fuel left in the system, any new gas will dissolve some of the old varnised gas & may stick one or more of the intake valves shut once you shut it off. If that happens it could lead to bent pushrods or worse. Don't ask me how I know that.

I think the folks that did the time capsule thing with the 57 seven Plymouth could learn something here! | | | | | Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 37 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2007 Posts: 37 | Really Cool Find!
