1962 c30

[Jeepers Creepers]

Wife said we needed another vehicle because she's tired of driving me to work, so I found this bucket of rust on craigslist for $1400. I named her Scarlett O'Horror but everybody at work calls it "that Jeepers Creepers" truck.

Upside: lots of maintenance and parts replacing has been done (new alternator, radiator, master cylinder, voltage regulator, etc etc), 235 fires right up, compression is kind of low but it runs good, tranny is a little finicky going into third sometimes but not bad. It's also a stepside and even though it's a C30 it's not a dually. Win/win.

Downside: it's rusty. Floorboard is rusted out along the door, rockers are shot, front fenders are dead, cab mounts are going (will the cab fly off?), the wood bed is DOA, and the electronics are iffy (turn signal is doing crazy things, no brake lights, headlights sometimes act possessed). I'd rather not have the rust of course, but I needed a running ride and my budget was $1500. This runs and came in under budget, so rust it is.
