I save one -pictures at last

well finally got a few minutes to take some pictures












looks worse than it is
silverado package power windows and locks dual tanks rally wheel tilt steering wheel 305 700 r4
only bad spots are rockers and cab corners some rust through the rest will clean up
let me know what you think
I just couldn't let it end up as parts

Re: I save one -pictures at last

not bad at all, I'd take it for sure. Clean it up and it should make a nice DD.

Re: I save one -pictures at last

yea not sure where the butts came from but the P.O. was
a smoker for sure
I like the custom headliner
this thing will look better after a good scrub down and of course
I'll redo the pics
the best part is this thing is untouched as far as originality even under the hood
bone stock I have the air cleaner the carb was finicky when trying to get her home
so I pulled it
but good bones as they say

Re: I save one -pictures at last

Good job dude!
They would not have parted that one out, one (or more) of the workers wanted it, and was not going to tell you it was for sale.
I know how it works in those places.

I like the totally randomness of the pins holding the headliner up.
I wonder if the PO died of lung cancer?
