The only things not original on it are the exhaust, seat, paint job, and the gears in the rear diff because he said he blew it out racing back in High School. I plan on restoring it completely back to original with the exception of the paint instead of just white I am going with pearl white. It has 77,000 original miles on it. It sat in his backyard from 1990 until I came along and looked at it in 2007 I put premium gas with lead additive in it and a optima battery in it put the original key in it turned it............It turned right over and fired up in about 5 cranks. Then he had explained to me that when he parked it there he had taken a bottle of boat engine fogging oil fired up the truck held the throttle open and poured it until it died. Well I shipped the truck to Michigan and where I will be restoring it. I have drove it around here and there can't go far no brake lights or turn signals but the brakes are right up top and I am learning to whip through the three on the tree like it's nothing I enjoy driving my truck and can't wait for her to be finished it deserves to be looking beautiful.I can't say it enough I love my truck. By the way this is my first post.
