Re: Latest find: rusty crusty 68 CST
I know how it is but saying it's not worth saving is to me like" Sorry Grandpa the operation just cost too much" lol. Why not just get it running and clean it up enough to drive.
My truck is not worth restoring to me but I cleaned it up the best I can and put a new motor and trans in it. I even bondo-ed a few spots but I figure it's better to live on with a little bondo than to go to the scrap heap. One day probably after I'm gone and as these trucks get more rare someone will find my truck and say hey this is a nice fixer upper. |

Re: Latest find: rusty crusty 68 CST
Looks to be a 220 hp 4 barrel 327 built at flint in oct 25th 1967 which is probably the original one as I bet it has an early build date on the body due to being a cst

Re: Latest find: rusty crusty 68 CST
Post 29 pretty much ruins any thoughts of ANYone whipping this pickup back into shape.
Cool color combo. As others have mentioned, pickups is much worse condition have been resurrected...maybe someone else can get the job done.. |
