Katrina/10
This truck was given to me by a friend 5 years ago who lost everything he had in Hurricane Katrina. The truck was completely submerged in seawater for 7 hours, then left sitting outside for a month. He was going to send it to the crusher, but I just couldn't let that happen.
It was a complete 71 short step with 250/Powerglide. The body was dissolved by rust, but I kept the frame and all the reusable parts in the cab. I replaced the cab with a good 69, put in an 87 TBI 350/700, and got it running again. I have enough parts to put the truck back together, one piece at a time. I have found a lot of useful information on this board, and hope to be able to contribute some also. I have several other old trucks too. Thanks, Gary
