the bed is in great shape the motor is a 292 with a 3 speed iam not sure if i should try to get it running or part it out the truck has no body damage the motor is stuck has not been on the road in 17 years iam the second owner ? it has leaf springs dont know if thats normal. what do yall think? it is a fleetside the only problem is no tail gate this is the best bed i have seen that has not been worked on.

Re: 1970 swb
Parting it should bring you some decent $$, especially the bed if it is in good shape. That said, unless it is has rust issues past the rockers, it sounds like a good truck to restore. All depends on if you feel like redoing the truck, I guess.

Re: 1970 swb
Without pics... I think I'd want to toss the engine to the curb, install a big 'ole caddy motor (once you drive one, you'll never be happy with a small block again) get the brakes working and have fun.

Oh yeah, I'm disturbed enough to just wax it as far as cosmetics go.

Re: 1970 swb
If it is a short fleet and you part it, put me in line for the bed.
