Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
The name Faded Glory came to me while dragging this truck home. Like a comfortable pair of well broken in jeans. A few tears and plenty of signs of use, but comfortable to wear.
It has a 350/350 setup with power steering and not a whole lot else. It was ordered to be a truck, and I can tell that’s how it was used. I always like the upper trim only for some reason, and the white rims and bumper compliment the two-tone white roof. This will be another “refresh”. My plan is to get the mechanicals repaired (tune up, brakes, electrical functional), new white stripe tires, replace the black interior vinyl, and clean ad detail everything. I haven’t decided if it needs hubcaps or wheel covers just yet. No lowering, cutting, or big wheels. Those are just not my thing.

This is a first… can’t spin open the gas cap without opening the door first.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Loading it on the trailer was fun. Four flat tires, doesn’t run, and my manual trailer winch handle broke. Fortunately I always take everything I might need when I go herding turds, so I had a come-along and tow strap. Just took forever and wore me out! Unfortunately I was too occupied to take pictures of that.
Once back in town (after clearing out the bed), I swung through the car wash to knock off the webs.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Tomorrow I plan to unload it, put it up on jack stands, and pull the wheels so I can get going on some tires. Then DMV shenanigans and ordering some things this week I’ll need to get it running.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Some comparisons between caps vs covers… what do you guys think?

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Nice find, looks like a nice truck. Personally I like the caps, matches well with the painted bumpers and the low option theme. Either one looks great though.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
It was a royal pain unloading with 4 flat tires and just a come-along, but I got it onto flat concrete.
Put her up on jack stands and pulled off the wheels next. Those lug nuts were on there good, after sitting in a field since 1999. It was about 90-deg, I'm wore out again. Here she sits waiting now... My friends son has this outer grill, I am hoping he will sell it to me for this truck...

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Things I've ordered after inspections:
- tires - ignition and door locks/keys - belts - radiator hoses, cap, thermostat/gasket - brakes (pads, shoes, cylinders, calipers, hoses, drum hardware kit) - set of 69-72 wheel covers (happened to pop up on ebay for a reasonable price, I can always sell if I don't use them) Already have tune up parts (plugs, wires, cap, rotor). I still need to by heater hoses, fuel hose/filter, oil/filter, battery. Some other misc items.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Oh... while crawling around under the truck I noticed the dual exhaust is in rough shape. Didn't see that one coming, might need some repair.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
I remember seeing this one in the Marketplace thread. That gas door stood out to me too!! Looks like a pretty nice score so far to me.

Very nice.

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Looks like a fun project!
I prefer caps on the lower option trucks

Re: Faded Glory (1971 med bronze patina refresh)
Cool looking project! As for the caps, bright and white with black walls - not a fan of white walls on trucks, but that's just me.
