Welcome to Stovebolt.com
Looks good. Exterior metal does not look very rusty. Is it a running truck?
Post your questions and people will quickly answer.

I am surprised at how inexpensive the parts are for this truck. I need a few small patches in the floor and the section between the doors and front fender on the bottom of the cab is rusted. I need to find some patch panels. The drivers side door may need replaced, but not sure yet. The panel on the bed next to the cab could use replacing. other than that the rest of the truck is pretty solid. The frame is in great shape. The dash is not cut up. Probably go with a new grill. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall | | Moderator: Welcome Centre, Southern Bolters, Legion Hall Joined: Dec 2001 Posts: 14,522 | Welcome to the Bolt. Looks like you got a pretty doggone straight pickup. Luckily there are lots of parts available for the AD trucks. Goodluck and keep us posted. Lots of information here that is shared by each and everyone.

Just wait, when the sickness sets in it gets worse. Then you'll look back and be surprised at how much you spent on your truck.

Leo Welcome to the Bolt, you'll like it here. Yes parts are relatively inexpensive. It's not the cost of the parts it's the number of parts you'll need.

And I have been noticing a lot of the stuff is made in China, it all looks pretty good at first, but upon closer inspection, not so good. That is not always the case, but keep you wits about you. If it seems too cheap, there is probably a reason. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 60 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Nov 2011 Posts: 60 | I have ordered some parts catalogs and I will probably pick up a truck magazine soon. The wife is wanting to start on it now, but I have to get a 63 split window Corvette painted for my buddy. If all goes well, that will be this week. | | |
