pics of my burned $50.00 truck

[xshadow]

I made a post a couple of weeks ago about buying a truck that was burned. Here are some pictures of it. Not very good pictures but...

[xshadow]

Don't be fooled. the picture makes the body look better than it is

for 50 bucks id buy that to, good buy

[1969k10stepside]

It's well worth the money burned or not.There is $100 in scrap there if nothing else...With people buying trucks with sheet metal looking like that,someone might want to buy it from you and label it patina

Looks like some good parts there, or maybe just a little primer here and there and you'll have it back on the road.

here is a picture of the engine....nice carb...

[GREASEMONKEY72]

wow thats burnt, but its got good valve covers on it though

[xshadow]

it's going to need more than just primer. I wish that was the case. the picture makes it look better than it is. I'm going to put another body on it....I took the body off and gave it to a friend to take in for scrap..he got over 100 bucks

I agree for the money there is still alot of good parts. You will have to post more pics.

It came with boxes of parts. new ac/heater control. gaskets. odd and ends all new old stock. new shocks,a bunch of seals,new glove box light kit, one new door handle and one almost new, new hubcaps, tie rod ends. the list goes on and on all new most never opened. starter rebuild kits. carb rebuild kits. I have another post with pictures I'll post more tomorrow....do you think the engine still runs? after the fire it sat for a few years

[1969k10stepside]

I'd put some oil in it,and try to turn it over using a ratchet on the crankshaft/harmonic ballancer bolt..see if it atleast turns over.I doubt it runs,and if it does,it wont run good..I'd go through it before driving with it.

[Aarons72s]

It might but my wory is when they put the fire out with water. How much water got in the motor. Since the valve cover is held down with t bolts, spin them off and see what it looks like in there.

It had a breather on it but I didn't get any picks with it on. it was chrome or what was left of it. I don't Think much water got in there the breather was calapsed and the choke was closed....who knows

[xshadow]

The seat didn't do so well in the fire

[Aarons72s]

I was woried what water went down where the carb was. Im surprised how well teh fuel tank looks. How bowd out was it?

[xshadow]

I was surprised also. It wasn't bowed too much. the driver's side was bowed out a bit but not that bad. The pics make the take look worse than it is the seat isn't bolted down on the driver's side so it sits closer to the tank.

hey that truck was done original... colonel sanders style

[xshadow]

got it started. had to replace the fuel pump,dist,and carb. It not only runs but it runs fairly good. very little to no smoke. here is the video see for yourself. I tried to get a shot of the exhaust so you can see that it doesn't smoke. click the pic

[projectking]

Wow It really runs pretty well, score!!!

[xshadow]

most people told me no way...It wouldn't run good enough to keep...one board member and my father said it may still run good..I didn't have much fath I didn't take it apart or change the oil first. I didn't want to wast my time. ..after the fire it sat for a few years before i rescued her. I picked it up for 50 bucks. before this one I bought one that I'm using the body off of. picked that one up for 100.00 I'll post pics of that one tomorrow. its a 2wd
