Pretty sad shape. 71, CST, was a 350. I will get a few parts from it. And before someone else says it, NO, it won't buff out. HAHA What else is there to do when it is around zero degrees? Enjoy.

fun in dirt · 01-16-2008, 12:30 PM

Looks like it has some excellent parts!

Sweet72 · 01-16-2008, 12:34 PM

Looks like it has dual tanks! Hope you get some good parts.

70rs/ss · 01-16-2008, 12:34 PM

single walled top??

LOW DOUGH · 01-16-2008, 12:38 PM

That's clean..... Had to say that. Good find!

teeitup · 01-16-2008, 12:48 PM

IT LOOKS COLD UP THERE!!!!!!!!!!!

Get your butt to work and quit snooping around finding trucks!!!! Looks good Eric, NICE FIND!!!!!!

Longhorn Man · 01-16-2008, 02:03 PM

i doubt there are two tanks... that was probably a whip antenna from the CB craze. Both 'fillers' are to the rear of the axle, where there is only room for one tank.
You gonna part this out... or you thinking of trying to save it?

corn · 01-16-2008, 02:44 PM

Make sure you keep that steering wheel. I have always like those...

nice chrome cst shifter!!

I see another set of the hard to come by 6 lug disc brake wheels and a posi? Nice find Eric!

Ol'Rover · 01-16-2008, 03:22 PM

nice snag from the crusher. yah it will buff out *cough* with a mallet a welder and some new sheet metal.

RCbowtie69 · 01-16-2008, 03:39 PM

good save, it's

time

**too much stuff** · 01-16-2008, 04:24 PM

70rs, double wall top i believe.
Randy. Yeah, below zero windchills. And today is the warm day of the week.
Andy, you are correct about the whip antenna bracket. Kind of looks like another gas tank opening. I think it is beyond saving. Frame looks decent, and so does the windshield frame. Too cold to get too far into it today.
Jamie, that caught my eye also.
Jeff, they are easy to find when you aren't looking. Did you find the int. code you were looking for?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 01-16-2008, 04:59 PM

Ouch!!!!!! Looks like she needs some rust mort..

**too much stuff** · 01-16-2008, 05:36 PM

Yes it is a 71, and i think you are correct on 72s having the single wall on some of them.

**special-K** · 01-16-2008, 06:10 PM

Pretty nice original paint.It looks about 90% rustfree.

Nope, I guess there is not a code for "saddle cloth trim"

I'll have to stop looking for it and maybe it will turn up!

70 and 71 shared the same door panels on the CST/cheyenne package.

**special-K** · 01-17-2008, 12:22 AM

I think the question was 71 vs 72 in reference to the top.
I`ve discovered that these truck will let you know when they`re done,like a butterball turkey.When the door handle button colapses,it`s time to restore or part.

**too much stuff** · 01-17-2008, 05:56 AM

Tim, both door handle buttons are gone. What does that mean???
I think the pics make it look better than it is. Both quarter panels flop around when the doors are closed. Almost up to zero outside, maybe a couple more pics today...

**tkeduk8r** · 01-17-2008, 11:24 AM

.. good find eric!!!
