Latest addition to the herd
Thought I would share a pic of the latest addition to my "Herd".
Motor was a 305 V6 in the bed of the truck so it went by by. Good old solid truck.

Re: Latest addition to the herd
Thanks to all the responses. I think it's pretty cool. It's got a dealer installed tach and the "flying M" tailgate. Actually the bed and bed wood are in pretty dang good shape. Usual rust at door/fender but the cab is real solid.

Re: Latest addition to the herd
Nice truck! Is that a tool box mounted on the step? Love where the spare tire is mounted.

Re: Latest addition to the herd
Always good feeling to have the wife's approval. That's really cool with the fuel tanks. Does it still have the one behind the seat too? Gotta be some kind of auxiliary switch for those tanks? Really cool truck man hate to see you flip it.

I know what you mean on flipping it. Kinda having second thoughts. Might just keep it and put a motor in it and sell one of my others. This old dude is "Really Growing On Me" the more I look at it. Talk about PATINA. I'm not talking paint that grew thin from sitting in the sun, this dude earned every scratch, scrape, dent, etc. from working every day of his life. I think I am "falling in Love" ![]() I am thinking I might pull it off Craigs and just think about it for a while. "He's not eating" or costing anything to sit there. I just have soooo many. ![]()

Re: Latest addition to the herd
Some more pictures are a must Cooperhw. Love to see that rear bumper. Sounds like the truck was a work horse and has a lot of character.

Re: Latest addition to the herd
I will see if I can find some.
Here are a few I took before I bolted the hood back on. Yeah, this old dude could tell some stories I bet. The front tire mount not only carried the spare but could fold down and function as a tow bar. Common practice back in the day was to tow the truck behind the road grader (blade) and once you got to the area to work you dropped off the truck. When you finished for the day you parked the grader and hopped in the truck for the ride back to the yard. You know, I like hot rods and I am a hot rod guy but this old dude is begging to just put a motor in it and drive. ![]()

Re: Latest addition to the herd
I totally thought the spare tire was mounted on with tie downs. That is really cool. Truck was definitely built for a purpose. That rear bumper is awesome. feel bad for anyone if they rear ended you! What a beast. If you end up keeping it what would you put under the hood?

I have just got used to doing it myself (repair work that is) except hanging a hood. Too much chance for hood damage.
