Scored another free truck yesterday

Unfortunately it is a 1976 model, will be a great doner for my 69 though.

Had a good set of rally rims on it (that is what I wanted it for), already put those on my scrap yard truck, as well as the variable ratio power steering box.

Good 250 and granny low trans too, I'll keep those for another project, take off the rest of the good sheetmetal, and send the rest to china.

Lots of rust in the cab floor and bed, and some numbskull WELDED the front crossmember to the frame, I had grand plans to do a crossmember swap before I saw that.

I did pay a price though, the dang truck was full of fire ants
They tore me up while I was robbing parts off of it

Sucks about the crossmember. Cool that it was a freebie. Scrap is bringing good money around here.

Looks like a GR8 score for free. Well I guess GR8 all but the ants. RJ22

Great deal! If those headlight bezels are any good you might want to pull em and put them on the board or Ebay.
