Rescued a 62 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

As the title says I pulled this old 62 out from its 30+ year slumber. She was a working girl in her day but at least they parked it inside on a concrete floor. Still didn’t stop the move from getting to the inside but it’s all original and complete. Going to be getting it running again and then decide to flip it or keep it.

Wow, that's nice! Looks like a lot of birds had a nice sitting place

Yeah it’s got a very think coating of bird droppings on the bed, took it to the car wash and sprayed it down and had it running shortly after, I love working on 6 cylinders...everything’s right there in front of you and easily accessed as far as the distributor is concerned. Needs a fuel pump and the original plug wires changed, it’ll get a full tune up, new sending unit and a tank cleaning along with a carb rebuild.
