My next project

[thelonerife]

I found this truck on Craigslist and picked it up for 275.00 Build threadhttp://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=626605

It is/was a 70 3/4 ton,leaf spring truck. It came w/ a title,protecto-plate,build sheet and theres still the remains of the build sheet under the seat springs although most of it is gone. And some past paperwork/receipts of work done although most of the things worked on are gone.

No motor,tranny,rear or leafs, Most of the interior is intact except the dash is gone. I found the radio delete in the glovebox. Took the radio out since it was just dangling in there anyway. It has solid doors although they have speakers in them. Fenders need a little work. The cab needs some floor repair,kick panel,rocker and cab corners,and outer front supports. Over the windshield is solid.

It came w/a good radiator support and radiator(new 3 core), inner fenders too. These parts look to have been partially blasted and primed.

This cab and front clip will go on a swb chassis that I'm getting from another board member along w/a step side bed from another.

I'll start this project after project underhaulin moves to Knoxville for the final chapter.

That was not only a good deal but a good save. It is in the right hands now for sure and I know someone who can help you with a cluster when you get to that point

See you next Saturday Chuck,
Tom

[thelonerife]

Thanks. Me too.

[tcoop68]

Holler if you want your money back , good deal.

[Rusbuilt]

Man that thing looks great to start with! I can't wait to see it in person!

[litew8]

Great find/price I notice your pass. kick panel has the same dimples mine had. Wonder what those are from. I thought maybe a trash can or fire extinguisher? But both yours and mine were painted over.

[Rusbuilt]

I thought all those dimples were actually spot welds from the factory.

[Number98]

Great find!!

[Sloan66]

Ugh! drove buy that truck everyday, never stopped to ask. Glad it is going in the right hands.

[MidLifer]

I agree with Rusbuilt on the dimples. They are spot welds.

you should've stopped. His family has been wanting him to sell it. He has a nice nova too but it's not for sale.

correct.
Thanks guys. I'm excited to start another one

[knomadd]

I'll be following along. I like watching what you come up with. This should be another good one. Great score too!

[litew8]

So, spot welds for the kick panel to cab. Thanks

[yote1234]

wow.... great buy !!!!

[thelonerife]

Thanks. So far the plan is a short stepper that will be low. How low is the next question.

[slowcpe]

Nice find. Glad I don't hit CL as often as I used to or I would've had to explain why that was sitting in the garage.

[Palf70Step]

Looking forward to seeing this build!

[ole dollor]
