Project Platinum C10

[Claytona08]

Some of you may have seen my original post when I bought my project. For those of you that didn't here it is.------------------ "I have noticed this truck over the past 9 or 10 months but could never get anyone to speak to me about selling it. Finally a few days ago I stopped by and the old man told me he would let me have it for $700 and he made sure to tell me "Now that's cash money son" This guy is approx. 80 yr's old. He actually opened the door in his whitey tighties and a t-shirt with no shame and stood there and told me about the truck when he bought it and didn't have a care in the world that he was standing in his underwear. I have attached a couple pics of the truck I took the day I was talking to him. I'm thinking with a good wash job and buff it will look really good. I am going back today to pick it up. I looked it over quickly and didn't notice any dings in this truck. I wiped away probably 20 yrs of dust from the bed and the paint still looked great. The guy told me he put the camper not long after buying it. There is a little bit of rust on the hood (seen in the pic) and at the bottom of the driver door (Approx. 1.5" long). I think overall I got a great deal."---------------The truck is a Scottsdale with the original 4.1L inline 6 with a 4 on the floor, power windows, power locks and tilt steering. The day I picked it up I put a hot battery on it and it actually fired right up. After a quick check of the fluids, new thermostat and valve cover gasket I was able to drive this truck around town. I am excited to get to work on this truck.
