Re: If it was your truck
IMO I would keep it as original as possible. But that is just me. There are a lot of modified old trucks out there, just not quite as many original trucks. Keep it stock!!

Re: If it was your truck
I always thought this dude nailed it...
Had a 65 long step I bought from a neighbor on the cheap with blown motor - dropped in a good running 250 L6 / 3 by the knee - drove it for 5 years everyday and had a blast. BUY IT - get it running and safe to run then drive the heck out of it until you feel what it needs come to you. .02 rg |

Re: If it was your truck
I'm for keeping it as-is, but lowered and road worthy.

Re: If it was your truck
I'm with the lot on clean it up, make safe/reliable, and drive it. Bagging it and wheels wouldn't be bad either.

Re: If it was your truck
Why would you want it if you don't know what to do with it ?
Just curious ! |

Re: If it was your truck
My first question would be what do you want it for, or what do you want to do with it. If you're interested in buying it to sell for profit - don't do anything but clean it up and make everything work. If it's the truck of your dreams, then the sky is the limit (that and a pile of money).
Of the few long steps I've seen, pure restorations can bring big money. Not so much in any other configuration.

Re: If it was your truck
Thanks for the ideas gents! I'm going to have the cash but it'll be in August. Thankfully it's out of site and no one else wanted it. Waiting with patience is so hard
