Thankfully, it was in a field in S.Kansas so it isn't rusted out. I hauled it back here to St.Louis so I have to work hard to keep it that way. All it's parts look original. Too bad it's missing the speedo & radio. I spent the weekend (minus time spent swapping engines in my '66) cleaning & getting things ready to see if it will run. I needed some good tires for the rear. I tried the spares from a '90 Toyota 4x4 & they fit perfect with 225/75/15 tires.
If the 216 won't run, I have a 235 to drop in. I'm hoping for this truck to be my daily driver. I'll post again w/a link for a photo page.
Later,

Yours is about the right color too. I love patina. And I love that hood ornament! Good luck with it, have fun and be safe.

I don't think many. I wish I could keep the rust patina, but that wouldn't be healthy for Neo. Under the hood is blue, so I guess I'll repaint it blue. I'll keep adding pictures a few at a time. I have dial-up.  Later, Scott | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 1,026 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 1,026 | I like it. Looks like a great project.
