Custom blend...

Just went and picked this prize up. it is a 68 Chevy with a GMC front cap and 72 model doors. It starts, drives and stops. It came with some odds and ends for spare parts,, it even has a tailgate. Got to decide wheter to tune it and clean it up to flip or part it out. I am going to run it around here in my neighborhood a while this afternoon, that will help me decide. Notice the big block shroud...

Why would you part a running, driving truck that isn't a rust bucket? That thing is in too good a shape to part, flip it. My .02.

You have a valid point Steve. It is rusty, but not as much as some I see for sale/selling. It has a wiring issue as far as the lights go but I am always dragging trucks in that would have have a wiring harness. I am leaning towards your way of thinking. Plus I get to dig through all the goodies the previous owners have left in it, one of my favorite parts of buying/selling these old trucks, you never know what you will find. Thanks, Fred.

And I thought I was the only wierd one here for liking to look under and under and in everything.

Just like hunting easter eggs. In the last few years I have taken to wearing gloves when I stick my hand up under the seat of a truck I have just met.

FrankenTruck! It has a lot of potential to save a lot of project trucks! Something for everyone! I bought a '72 C20 Custom parts truck, cab was really bad (rotted roof!), but everything else was useable for the other projects- so it's getting broken for bits, as my British pals would say. Kind of like an organ donor for pickup trucks!

Organ donor is what we call most of them we bring in. The truck has wiring issues, needs tires badly and has other issues.

Took it for another joy ride around the neighborhood. Starts, stops, runs, drives, shifts, I think we are going to put it on the market,, Cheap... The three speed trans shifts great and is fully synchronized. I may throw it on the Trucks for sale board here. Thanks, Fred.
