I've been chasing this truck for ten years and finally got my hands on it. It's a 71 swb straight 6 three speed custom 10 11600 miles 2 owner.

All the pictures I have right now more to come! I will prolly be doing a v8 swap in the future but am leaving the original paint for as long as I can. I've added the ralleys and that's all that's been done as of now

[SCHRUMGMC]

Not a bad looking truck man, love the patina
Only thing I'd change appearance wise is the Side markers the Deluxe Sidemarkers look a lot better

[teeitup]

congrats, it looks good!!!!!!!!!

[kdearing]

The only rust is the bottom right fender from the battery and the right rocker. Has a couple dents.

looks like it was worth the chase to me nice!!

Excellent truck! That has a nice patina. If you can keep it dry that can be a great look just as it is. I'd probably run that six until I had the exact drive train ready and waiting to trade places. You would probably regret the loss of gas mileage with the swap though. If you have a good quiet exhaust on it, most people wouldn't even know you have a six. And they can be quite peppy.
Great truck either way,
Congrats

I would leave the six for awhile. But it's burning a lot of oil and the water pumps out.

[kdearing]

I'm goin to keep the six and so I can keep it a matching number truck. I will upload more pictures later and progress as I go. Im not goin to do a lot but I'm goin to do some stuff

[SCHRUMGMC]

What is the Gas mileage compared to a Inline 6 and a 350 ?

[kdearing]

I mean that I'm goin to keep it so if I want to put it back original I can

[kdearing]

I really don't know but I woundnt think it would be that much better. It's not goin to be a daily driver so I'm not to worries about the gas mileage.

Nice score. Bring that thing up to the Crawdad Days Show in Harrison May 17th. You might win part of that $5,000 cash.

Has that one been on the street much? I've seen one when I go through Marshall, but I think it was two tone.

Is that your green and white one on the south end of town?

Holler at me some time.

It sat between Marshall and Leslie for years and then it was passed down to another guy that beat it up pretty good but I couldn't pass it up when I got the chance to buy it. If ur ever down around Marshall come to the drive in. I'm goin to try to hit some shows this spring with it if I get a motor out in it by then
