Heres the link to the build sheet pics! Also took some pics of the outside. Within 10 minutes of owning it, two people tried to buy it. Within 24 hours of owning, I've had about 5-6 people ask. A lot of people tried to buy the truck when the original owner had it, but he was going to give it to his granddaughter(who must not have wanted it). A couple of people have said that the truck has original miles on it(32000) because it sat for 15 years and the one guy serviced the gentlemens other car, so he knew the truck fairly well. Lots of history!!!!

No Rust or dents in box!

Very Straight Truck

He probably remembers when she was a little girl and used to love riding around in grandpa’s old truck and said she loved his truck. Now older, she wouldn’t be caught dead in it. I wish my granddad would have had a old truck like this one.

What does the option "516" on the lower left corner say? GRANCE? CRANCE? I can't read it.

I think it says orange, there's a spot on the O.

That is a great score, I'd love to see a close up of the upper trim, I wonder what the dealer used for it?

**68350** · 02-14-2009, 12:10 AM

Idk, the upper trim is much thinner than the oem stuff. I will snap a picture of it in the morning. It does say orange, also.

Well, 550 miles or so later, it's at home!! Didn't have any trouble with it, other than some snow that made drivin slow for a little while. Ran and drove fantastic. As soon as it warms up, the mild and easy resto will be done. Right now, we are thinking of leaving it all original(manual steering and all). It is our most documents and original truck!! thanks for the looks and comments guys and gals

-Reupholster seat
-New Steering Wheel
-Replace or freshen trim
-new grille
-fix bumper guard
-new dash pad
-new marker light lenses
-repaint truck
