deadly sins:

1. Slamming
2. Chopping
3. Shaving
4. 17 inch or larger wheels
5. Seats from wrong years
6. One-piece door glass
7. Smoothed firewalls
8. Anything XXL is contemplating

And the #1 sin, dash cutting!

At least he didn't say non Chevy engines into chevy truck...I was starting to sweat this list.

The mirrors may well not be a ford set up, but a dead ringe. I have seen some that looked EXACTLY like the ones on my old Power Ranger. ('89 POS Ranger XLT)
Regardless of what you do or do not have there...it is a sweet truck with some very nice features on it.

drink2mny · 07-10-2003, 11:32 AM

I am definatley going to get a different bumper

**CPNE** · 07-10-2003, 11:50 AM

Couple other inconsistencies.

1. The door panels should have woodgrain on htem as well. Those look like Custom deluxe panels.

2. All tilts installed in trucks are black. I know you stated it was a converted van tilt, but it would be more correct if PO had left it black.

I know somebody back here that would love to have that rear bumper!

When I pulled a van tilt from a mid 70's GMC Rally 6 there was no steering shaft. The column went at a steep downward angle and hooked right up to the rag joint. I used my own steering shaft and shortened it. The stock column has about 4" showing on the sliding (collapsible) part of the steering shaft. A van tilt in one of these trucks will show about 1 1/2".

Alright, I'll be straight with ya, since none of these other guys will!
You got SCREWED!!

But since I'm feeling extremely charitable today, go ahead and ship it to Texas and I will refund your purchase price, even with the mirrors, tilt, bracket and woodgrain problems.

Anyway, nice find. I hope you can sleep at night knowing what you did to that previous owner.

Good Luck!

Hey CPNE I'll think of you when i come across a new rear bumper.I visit NH atleast once a year..Plus thanks for the info about everything..I figure if I come across things that are more original for it, I'll get them. But as for now I gots me a looker..

The trim in front and behind the tool box should also have screws in it.
