That has a killer patina and yah the trim is worth as much as the truck itself. More details on this one paaahhhlleeeeaaazzzeee.

Still feeling it out.... number one is to make it a daily driver that I can take to shows on the weekend. We will see where we go from there. I just retired after 25 years in the US Air Force so I have time on my hands, we will see if I have the talent to pull this off.

This is how I found it....good body....not the original engine, still straight six. No rust but I think many after market panels. Not looking to make it a show truck but want to make it nice enough to take to a show on the weekend.

Welcome Catmdude, Nice start. Start a build thread.

crapy67 · 03-30-2016, 03:05 PM

Thanks Ratty, she needs tons of work a lot of untalented people abused her in the past

DeeJayNOLA · 03-30-2016, 08:41 PM

Looks like a great "pit" to start in!! Especially if the body is at neat and clean as it looks upon 1st glance. Good luck and happy fixing!

mud.man.rj · 03-31-2016, 09:08 PM

Yep, cool pit.

crapy67 · 03-31-2016, 09:47 PM

Thank you sir. Just some minor touches. Wheels and some cosmetic touches. It has fuel injected small block. Four link 9 inch rear and chevelle front clip. And all kinds of other goodies! I will put a build log together shortly!

My wife talked me into getting out of the shop long enough for a 75 mile drive up in the hills today since the weather was so good. Here's some pics.
