CL find for my duaghter...I guess.

Found this on CL in Wichita. It's from Texas (supposedly with plate) a year ago and the PO stripped the column bolt for the steering wheel. Best part is that I paid half or what he did a year ago. Brought it home and the wife offered it to our 16 year old duaghter. I went to get it today to part it out (based on the asking price)... Oh well, she'll get plenty of looks. Wanted to share with someone that appreciates these trucks. My family calls it "basic transportation." I call it a missed oppertunity to flip it for 2X the money!
P.S. I do know the PO has the bumper upside down!

The rear bumper looks to be a 60-66 Chevy/GMC bumper. So glad you didn't part it out!

Thank you for the info. I thought I could flip it over but i guess its staying like this for now.
The CL pics did it no justice and the guy that owed it put it down pretty bad on the phone. Its not a CREAM PUFF BUT WELL WORTH THE ASKING PRICE... AND i DONT HAVE TO BUY A $5k RICE ROCKET FOR MY YOUNGEST THAT ONLY GOES A MILE TO SCHOOL AND BACK EVERY DAY. Sorry for the caps but i dont look up often and am not retyping all that.LOL
