Re: pics of the 69 before i start
It's hard to tell by the pictures but the body looks to be in pretty good shape for sitting outside.

Re: pics of the 69 before i start
thanks craig yeah i think the bed was worth a majority of the money the floor needs replaced but my parts came in today so all i need now is to get my grill and left front fender and the body will be in driver condition, still gotta get some sbc motor mounts and some other stuff to make it run, so i'm guessing its not gonna be at the cookout but i'll bring pictures with me of progress made!!!

Re: pics of the 69 before i start
I think you are better off building up that 400 to a 406 and have a better motor.

Re: pics of the 69 before i start
You got a great truck for 400.00. Especially (SP) if it was drivable. Sound like you have some great plans for the truck. I am on my 4th driven truck and 5th parts truck and would not give it up for anything. I have sold most but my 72 K5 is what my wife is going to put me in the dirt with.
