Long Lost 70
I can't believe I found this truck. It belonged to a close friends dad. He bought it new in 71. He gave it to his son, and he sold it in the late 80's. It been sitting for the last 10yrs and needs some TLC now. Lots of good times had in this truck, and hopefully many more to come.

Re: Long Lost 70
It is still in pretty good shape. Considering it was parked in a field with blackberry bushes growing over top of it. I pressure wash the outside, was covered in slim. The canopy is original too, which saved the wood floor. The interior is not bad, lots of condensation and mold. The truck is now parked in my buddys heated shop. I am going to clean it up, go through it, and get it running.

Re: Long Lost 70
Update:
I took the interior apart. It cleaned up real nice. The rubber floor matt is in good shape and the seat cover saved the seat. Put some TLC into the engine, before trying to start her.... Fired up right away ![]() As for the body.... Needs rad support, Right inner fender, Cab corners and maybe a right box side. The doors close like they where new.
