I knew about the air cleaner.....Here is the deck codes

jr1000yarder · 09-17-2016, 01:55 PM

it appears to me to be a different motor...................damn

jr1000yarder · 09-17-2016, 03:56 PM

75 c10 350 motor......oh well

I bought it anyway for 1900.00

hope I can find a 327 block that's close to the correct one!

If I lived in CA I would agree!

I don't think I have ever seen a vehicle without rust

custom10nut · 09-17-2016, 09:37 PM

Am I missing something here? From the pics you posted, I wouldn't call this a rust bucket. Looks like you picked up a good truck for the price, even if the engine inst original

You did good. Those Cali guys don't even get rain so they are in a different world old truck wise. . I'd rather have a 350 than a 327 anyway. More torque to move these bricks.

midniteblues · 09-18-2016, 10:37 AM

I was gonna say if the expantion plug or vent is near the dizzy base then more likely you got a oe motor but i guess ya figured it out.

Looks like a good deal on yer end.......some fell'a have fear of rust. Bring it on!

Vintage Windmills · 09-18-2016, 11:36 AM

The original engine for this truck would have been a 283. Show us more pics when you get a chance, sounds like a good score.

jr1000yarder · 09-18-2016, 02:45 PM

I have a few more...I'll get them up. Yeah idk....if it's a 283 truck then I'll just build the 350....

jr1000yarder · 09-18-2016, 02:53 PM

Here's more, I'm going to fetch it in a couple weeks.

jr1000yarder · 09-18-2016, 02:54 PM

I didn't want to pay that much but 1500 wasn't buying it!

TwoFiftyShifter · 09-18-2016, 03:37 PM

I know. I payed 3K for mine in July but thought it was worth 2500. I just had to have it, same old story.

I like those wheels a lot. Looks like a good start esp. For the northeast

jr1000yarder · 09-18-2016, 05:12 PM

Only reason I bought it was small window, CST, 4spd, v8, and a/c LOL

otherwise 500.00!

**GR8-68** · 09-18-2016, 05:46 PM

Looks like a good start to me. What type of build are you planning ? Frame off ? Or just a nice driver ?

jr1000yarder · 09-18-2016, 06:02 PM

I'm just gonna drive it for now. Start getting parts I need ......when the 69 is done I'll strip it and do a frame up....disc conversation, static drop....I've owned and currently own air ride HD Baggers with big wheels...don't want to mess with bags on a truck, static drop is just fine! !!

Maybe a Curly Maple wood bed... (I've got a guy!)

Keeping the Mint Green paint and green/black mix interior, white bumpers, white accent in the trim and black 20's is my vision. ..I've already swindled a M22 transmission off my buddy!!!!

Long, Low and fast as Fu**!

jr1000yarder · 10-25-2016, 10:25 PM

Update....should be here tomorrow night. Spoke to the driver and he's getting it early in the am and should be to me around 8pm I hope!!! Can't stand it much longer!!!! He also picked up my buddy buckets in TN this afternoon. ...so far so good with the uship driver.. I'll post more pics when I can. We're gonna make it road worth and drive it for a while until it goes under the knife! !

wpavlis · 10-25-2016, 11:41 PM

Nice! The wait is so hard

67chevy_hotrod · 10-25-2016, 11:56 PM

Nice! I just picked up a 72!

Ken B · 10-26-2016, 06:34 AM

Congrats on your new truck! I don't think you did too bad at all. You are correct, unrusty trucks in this area of the country are extremely rare. Yours doesn't seem to be infested with rust so that is good. It also doesn't appear to be all butchered up. I also prefer a 4 speed over an automatic truck. I looked for a long time waiting for a 4 speed truck to pop up for sale near me. My 70 Longhorn has a 4 speed with big back window. I wish they still had a small back window in 1970. Why do so many guys prefer a big back window? Must be for visibility reasons, can't be because it looks better...

jr1000yarder · 10-26-2016, 03:31 PM

Won't be here till tomorrow am, driver got a late start.......He call me a little while ago and told me 10am tomorrow. Good communication from him, even if he's a day late.......Overall he's been very good to deal with.

I won't be able to sleep !!!!!!!!!!!!!

can't wait for you to get that baby on the road and meet up at the almost half way spot

You BET!!!!!!!!!!! It's here.......at least it brightened up a cold icy rainy day!!!

I'll get it in the shop tomorrow to see what it needs for inspection and to make it road worthy for now.

jr1000yarder · 10-27-2016, 03:14 PM

Made it in today. ...making a list.....

**GR8-68** · 10-27-2016, 04:18 PM

Very nice, love the color

jr1000yarder · 10-27-2016, 07:50 PM

Thanks, when it gets restored it's gonna be that color....the truck needs the usual out this way...cab supports, rockers, hole in the floor........... brakes look good and it runs well....The upper ball joints are orginal, still rivited lol. ..I have one of the tech school kids that works part time fixing it up so I can drive it.....it's only 31yrs older than him and he's in awe....
