I finally found my dream car recently on Craigslist. The PO did most of the heavy lifting, so it makes my job much easier (although I feel like I missed out on a lot). The truck was in really rough shape when he got it (I have pictures) but he cut out all the rust and welded in new metal. He also put in a new 350 and 700r4 transmission. As you can see, he was going for a hot rod orange, but it's a little flashy for me. I want to make it look as stock as I can with a few upgraded parts like disk brakes and shoulder belts and things like that. I haven't settled on a color yet. I love the original blue with white top color scheme, but I've recently fell in love with all the patina pictures. If I could find someone around St Louis to paint the whole truck like the tailgate that's on it now, I'd probably do that.
