looks like you got a pretty good truck there. Planning resto, or driver?

its restored. rebuilt motor and all. im gonna change to a 71-72 grill with a billet insert. drop it. it doesnt need much work except for brakes and interior.

good buy, that's pretty cheap for a repainted one

Interesting looking garage you got there.

dinnut · 05-14-2003, 10:33 PM

the house and garage are domes. ill send pics to anyone who wants em. im not driving it yet. i need a fan shroud too.i got it home today. i already got the bed liner and all that crap out. the front bed panel is rusted through.

bpmcgee · 05-14-2003, 11:26 PM

Wow, great buy for that price! Looks nice!

The mirrors look kind of dorky, though, imho.

Brian

dinnut · 05-14-2003, 11:29 PM

im taking those damned mirrors off!

Blue68 · 05-14-2003, 11:56 PM

Nice score....

BTW, that is the south Texas heater hose routing. Mines very similar at the moment.

Good thinkin! Those mirrors look 'retarted.'

cheyenneman · 05-15-2003, 03:42 AM

Nice truck. Get an air cleaner and for sure get new mirrors.

buckola · 05-15-2003, 06:49 AM

Where's the tail light trim?

Nice truck!

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 04:07 PM

i bought it without the taillight trim. my 72 has em. guess the previous owner didnt like em.

wnc mountain · 05-15-2003, 05:20 PM

Nice looking truck. do you know how long ago it was painted, and what type of repairs that have been done. those rims look like 15x10 or just 15x8 with a big set back, looks good either way. agree on the mirrors!

dinnut · 05-15-2003, 08:05 PM

i like the tires. they are hp 4000. i found some rust in the front bed panel. i dont know about repairs or how long ago it was painted. it is ford atlantic blue. the wheels are nice. i want to goto a five lug is im gonna put some bigger billet wheels but for now im gonna stick with 6 lugs. i want disc brakes to do a 4/6 but its 900 for the kit and the other truck is a 72 with discs but it is a 5 lug. geese
