The body is beautiful On this truck. I love the 6 cylinder and 4 on the floor combo.

I have all the original protection policy paperwork and pamphlets.

**62bagger** · 10-12-2021, 11:50 PM

That's an awesome truck.

cornfed · 10-20-2021, 02:46 AM

This is one of the most og trucks I have come across. Shows 45k miles, doubt it has rolled. Been inside its while life. My plan was a 4x conversion with a totally stock look but I don't have the heart to mess with it

cornfed · 10-20-2021, 02:50 AM

Couple more

**The Rocknrod** · 10-20-2021, 05:10 AM

Ya I wouldn't either. Nice truck for sure.

**jocko** · 10-20-2021, 07:11 PM

Donna toucha nothin! That’s a beauty.

oem4me · 10-21-2021, 12:16 AM

Awesome 2021 Halloween special. Those colors are on another level! Orange you glad it's yours, and totally OG? Lol.

sodly · 10-21-2021, 12:43 PM

Really cool truck. Dig that topper! Can we see more?

factorystock · 10-21-2021, 01:29 PM

One of those time capsule type of vehicles! Note the factory options on this one: bumper guards, inside tire carrier, western mirrors, back up lights and 3 piece heavy duty 15" rims. Like the period topper and step bumper also!

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. Do you have any engine pics?

cornfed · 10-22-2021, 11:49 PM

Thanks guys. It really is an amazing truck, absolutely never messed with at all. Hopefully I can get over my nervousness of something happening to it and drive it some

cornfed · 10-23-2021, 12:05 AM

This for me was the best part. I didn't even know any of it was there until I got it home and started really looking it over. I tried looking up the original owners address but I can't figure it out...

**The Rocknrod** · 10-23-2021, 07:27 AM

That is realyy cool, great find.

factorystock · 10-23-2021, 11:35 AM

We add to the option list. 292, 4 speed, fluid to wipers, passenger side arm rest. May have the custom comfort option and heavy duty rear springs.

**yote1234** · 10-24-2021, 02:52 PM

Nice find!

factorystock · 12-24-2021, 10:34 AM

Used only during the season and stored in a shed the rest of the year.

**GranPanteraRoja** · 01-03-2022, 10:44 PM

Question for purists out there..

On the original inline 6's was the intake manifold bare cast iron or painted to match the engine?

I've seen painted and unpainted examples but I have not found confirmation either way of what was factory stock.

Intake was engine color and painted same time as the engine. Which leads me to believe the exhaust manifold on a 6 cylinder was also painted engine color as it was most likely an assembly. Great question!

Thank you! I've look throughout the internet and could never find an answer. Hopefully that will help someone else's Google search
