Rescued....

Just by chance i saw this 68 in a field and stopped to ask and could not believe he sold it to me. Cab on truck is very good with no rust holes anywhere. Both long wheel base sides are rough. Original tire still under truck. 400 turbo tranny in the truck. No motor but lots of good parts for what i got it for. Hated to see it rot away.

Got some people interested in cab since its so good. As we all know the hard part of these trucks is findind a solid cab. Just want to give someone else a good start to a solid truck. I have plans for most of the truck.

You know it's a survivor when it has a small tree growing up through the engine compartment. You can tell how long it's been there by counting the rings on the stump....

Re: Rescued....

From the pics, looks like a 1/2 ton? Was that a big block truck?
