Super nice find! Low miles or not, there is no rot on that truck. You will make out like a bandit when you sell it. Congrats!

I would at least keep the orig engine and parts. You may not care about the originality but if you ever sell, many buyers would kill for originality in a lower miles good original condition truck.

Good deal for what you paid! Well optioned, 350, AMFM PS, PB, AC, Cheyenne, Black!

Great score!!! You could sell the grille, trim, and radio for more than your investment!!! (not that you'd want to) :chevy:

i will keep the block and heads but that is about it. he changed out some stuff so it was not all stock to begin with motor wise but atleast someone would have the matching numbers block and heads

Re: 71 garage find stored since 73

Exciting find! No doubt low mileage but neglected truck. Looks like it has corvette rally disc brake caps on it? If so, just curious how those are mounted? Converted to 5 x 4-3/4? Disc caps on truck rallys?

Yeah the SPID is mint! If nothing else the glovebox door is low mileage! Enjoy that truck! Let us see it polished up!

Re: 71 garage find stored since 73

Congrats. I think you got a really good deal for 2K. A little detail work and some work getting the motor unstuck and running and you will have a truck worth 3 times what you paid. I'd suggest pulling the heads. It doesn't take much rust in a cylinder bore to stick it. Lots easier to see which cylinder(s) and crocus the rust off the walls from the top.

Re: 71 garage find stored since 73

The storage was obviously not friendly, but none of us can prove the miles aren't correct. Sitting for decades is punishing!! Hopefully, it can be resurrected to it's former glory. I saw that on CL and am kicking myself for not calling!! Great Buy!!

You have a great deal there at any mileage.
