Re: Where are the stockers?
Hello All
Just found the site, great source of info. Here is pics of my new 60. I got it last summer at an auction, restoration was started and couldn't be finished (due to $$$). Bought it with fenders, grill, some other sheet metal, all the wood in bed and seat removed. All parts were in the bed (except the rotten wood,and rusted out bed rails) along with a new aftermarket fender, rocker panel, and fender extension. I patched up the old parts (crudely without bondo) hammered some dents, spotted with some flat black paint, and put back together with a new sheet of 3/4 plywood for the bed. Added the chrome rims and tires (garage sale specials!) and a new tie rod end and off she went.
Just recently I bought a 62 parts truck and salvaged the fuel tank sender, heater blower motor, emergency brake cable, back cab glass and a seat that was much better than the one I had. So all totaled up I have about $500 in this rig, I call her "Fairly Reliable" because she is and the door signs.
Today was the first day the temp here was above the minus range, but she fired right up so I drove it to work today (the jetski in back helps with traction, but not much) I still have a lot of little things to fix, but for right now it is all good.
