Thanks, its pretty solid very minor rust spots. Found it sitting behind a barn, the elderly man said he was the second owner of the truck only 78k miles on it, the man gave it away to me for $1000. After I got it home I pulled the carb off and rebuilt it so I could move it around, couldn't believe how good it runs.

Re: New member

Heck yeah for a grand!

What's under the hood? Does it run?

Pass through Hayden a couple times a year heading up to Scottsboro to see my dad, he's now passed but I still run through there a couple times a year to visit relatives and tend to property and such.

A grand? Are you kidding me? That truck would sell for upwards of $4000 in my area if it ran. I am happy for you and keep posting pics so we can enjoy the truck with you as you work out the kinks.

Re: New member

if the 6 cyl runs really good, I would leave it, do the brakes and drive it! I would love to have the 6 cyl in mine. V8's are getting to be too common.

These old trucks are a lot more fun running and driving than sitting torn apart in the garage... FWIW

You'll have fun with this project. I'm biased for keeping and modifying the original 6. So easy to work on.
