Re: junkyard crawl

I wonder what lake that thing has been sitting at the bottom of ?

It does look to have one good 16.5x8.25 inch factory style rear wheel .

Re: junkyard crawl

Sorry but that thing is in good to fair condition. Here is the last truck I had drove it for about 5 years or so.



there were no floor boards or rockers at all the seat was resting on the gas tank the body had major flex anytime you drove it over a steep bump or hill, and your pants got wet when you drove it in the rain.............I loved it it. It was a shame I had to put her down she ran and hauled the day I started parting her out.

The sad part was everything worked in that truck even the a/c had a strong 454 and a sm465 it was a work horse, but the Ohio road salt got the better of her. Thats why I have been making such an effort on my new truck to rust proof the crap out of every little nook and cranny so it doesnt end up like the old one.
