Last weekend while driving down the highway I noticed a 1970 longbed I've been eyeing for quite some time had a For Sale sign in the window, I stopped to ask how much and was told $500, I went back and bought it that afternoon, and will be picking it up in the morning.

The following link will go to some photos of it:

looks like a solid start good score

wHATANERD · 09-25-2004, 06:58 AM

The Rocker is gone on the Passanger side, and the grill shell will need to be replaced, but on a positive note both cab corners, the bed floor, firewall, and drivers side rocker are all solid.

This is going to be a fun truck to work on

Congrats. Another one being resurrected (spellin??) is always a good thing!

jet mec · 09-25-2004, 03:20 PM

I wish all those ares were solid on mine when I got it. but it's getting there. best of luck.

Looks like a great deal for the coin! Good score. H.

Rusty Rider · 09-25-2004, 04:14 PM

Very good deal. I paid 600$ for mine and it will take a new bed and alot of bondo to get it to your starting point. Have fun with her.

krue · 09-25-2004, 04:39 PM

You got a good deal on it.

**Canadian694x4** · 09-26-2004, 02:53 AM

Looks like a great ol truck to start with...what's it got for an engine and tranny?

wHATANERD · 09-26-2004, 04:58 AM

I'm not sure what engine it is yet, I'll check the number's tommorow, unfortunatly i'm thinking it's a 307, and hoping for a 350, the trans is a Turbo 350.

Brainchild · 09-26-2004, 08:22 AM

Looks like ya stole it to me

Even if it is a 307

Blue Beard · 09-26-2004, 01:13 PM

Nice score for the coin...

toms68cst · 09-26-2004, 05:16 PM

Great score! She looks pretty solid.

I love the poorman's redneck brush guard!

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 09-26-2004, 07:54 PM

Nice score look's like another one will be saved...

wHATANERD · 10-03-2004, 02:47 AM

The engine is definetly a 307, I got it to start last weekend, however It smoke like a train, looks like I'll be looking for a rebuildable 350 block. The good news is I was able to drive it, and the Transmission is great.

I'm also looking for a donor cab, The roof is in bad shape, and there some really strange body work below the back glass.
