Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
That's a cool truck (except for the wasps I hate those nasty little buggers) what are your plans?

Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
ha! ha!
the plan is to keep it original (won't be too hard), get it cleaned up, and get it road worthy... - new dash pad - oem radio knobs - oem mirror head - new master cyl and purge brake lines - intake/exhaust manifold gaskets - new battery/fluids/filters/belts, etc - new gas cap - touch up the hub caps - and a ton of scrubbing, buffing, and polishing ![]()

Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
That will be a great run around truck. I would drive just as it sits. Maybe some different wheels. Very nice find.

Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
thanks. it's a LOT of work, but it's very satisfying bringing a truck this original (and rust free) back to life.
original floor mat...

Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
well... yes. sadly i've only got room for one keeper. i need to wrap this one up soon, i'm going to check out another one tomorrow that i'm really excited about.
thanks. that's the original mat. i scrubbed it with soapy water and an sos pad, then worked in some trim restoring compound with a stiff bristled brush. if you look close you can see a few tears.

Re: my sickness has flared up again. time for some vitamin C…
If you decide to get rid of the air assembly I have been looking all over the place for one like that? I have a straight six 1970 Chevy C10. Thanks
