got this truck to use the engine,trans,cab,power brakes and steering 5 lug setup and as a bonus it has a tilt column. Truck is not running but I'm hoping it will ,truck seems really solid

red69ss · 01-01-2009, 11:21 PM

lowriden58 · 01-01-2009, 11:23 PM

nice find! looks like a newer crate GM 350 in there??

OARNGESI · 01-01-2009, 11:24 PM

Nice find

1970 chev truck · 01-01-2009, 11:53 PM

looks like a target master 350, or maybe the heads off of one, what are the heads in the box of the truck??

primered_junk · 01-02-2009, 02:14 AM

Looks like my truck, is mine still going to be in the parking lot when I get off work?

**68350** · 01-02-2009, 03:49 AM

Looks like it was at some time a highlander. Nice parts truck!

72BlckButy · 01-02-2009, 09:23 AM

Nice find, it has a lot of useable parts.

red69ss · 01-02-2009, 09:24 AM

1970 the heads in the bed came off original engine for the truck. the truck looks to be very solid but hard to tell yet since it was painted recently. the bed looks very good from what I can see I'm going to try to clean it out today and check it out I won't be using it though since I'm building a shortbed. overall not a bad truck for $700

caminokid · 01-02-2009, 10:08 AM

I think I would be fixing that one. Looks like its solid from what i seen of the pics.

red69ss · 01-02-2009, 06:02 PM

cleaned the bed out today and it is really straight it had a cover on it at one time only one small rust hole, check out the art on the back glass somebody etched it on there

red69ss · 01-02-2009, 06:03 PM

art

rambler · 01-02-2009, 06:10 PM

very good buy for $700 did you get it running yet? looks too good to chop up as a parts truck... I'll trade you my parts truck for it.. LOL

ChaseDale3and8 · 01-02-2009, 08:39 PM

Most of the parts trucks that you guys find are in better shape than the rust buckets that I try to save! Nice find! ...Joe

Nice parts truck, although I have seen people start with their project trucks that were in way worse shape than what you have as a donor. Like me...

Sweet find. Keep us posted with the progress.

Nice find, Air Cab, Tilt, decent motor?, Nice clean project/parts truck.

red69ss · 01-03-2009, 06:07 PM

havn't been able to work on it today I'm a little under the weather wish I felt better can't wait to see if I can get it running. I figured even if motor doesn't run good or needs rebuilding truck was still worth it. It would make a nice driver shame what I'm going to do with it,but all its parts will probaly find there way back onto the road.

Bradley the rules are not yours to interpret...best thing is to be quiet and go to the next thread.

STOCKISH · 01-04-2009, 12:12 AM

Looks like a great truck. Lots of good usable parts. Good luck with your project. Definately should think about becoming a supporting member. I've seen lots of "wanted, long bed" ads lately.

*chevy29267truck* · 01-04-2009, 12:59 AM

sweet truck it has A/C too

**thelonerife** · 01-04-2009, 01:08 AM

Everybody keep parting out these highlanders so the value of mine will go up ha ha. Great find you have there.

Longhorn Man · 01-04-2009, 01:56 AM
