Just drug one home...
Well, more like hired a roll back to drop it off.
This "beauty" has been sitting since 1997 less than a mile from home. Bought 2 truck loads of old Chevy parts from the guy yesterday and this truck followed me home too. Too rough to fix (well, I guess anything is fixable) but I have 8 projects now so this one is getting parted out. I hate to do it but I'm betting the bottom is worse than the top. If parted, every useable piece will find new homes so nothing will go to waste. I haven't had time to really look it over yet but I know it's a 1970 CST, had a 400 but now I think it's s 283. Ran when parked (yeh, I love that saying) Has 3 speed on column and being a CST, has lots of the fancy goodies. Has the old gas scent to it just standing next to it like a bad case of body odor. Hey, anyone want the camper top? Wanna know how to make this truck look 50% better? Remove that top! Bonus is the bed floor was done in diamond plate and it matches the pattern of my wrecker restoration! How I went nuts searching for some of that. I now have all the diamond plate I need and more! Bet it was nice when he parked it. Must have been a real nice truck in it's day. Well, here it is:
