everyone loves a free truck!

[TylerHuff]

just got this truck today for the price of FREE. Title and everything. It hasnt run in a few years but im going to work on that soon and start fixing her up

[TylerHuff]

oh and it came with rust and dent free front fenders and hood just needs to be put on

[thirdstreettito]

Bonanza it looks like too! Nice steal!

[N2TRUX]

Cheap is good, but free is better. Looks like you have a bit of work ahead, but the fresh parts will make a big difference.

[oneday]

Congrats!Free is good!Remember,it's all about the hobby and using your hands and imagination.(atleast in my opinion)I just thru a bumper like yours (in good shape) in the dump.Sorry!You'll have no trouble finding parts for that truck.They practically fall from the sky here in Canada.I have to ask.....do all lawnmowers in the states have steerable front wheels? 72 chevy s/b 2wd (lowered of course)

[heavychevy79]

Yikes I see rust everywhere, even on your grey Silverado in the background!
So far it all looks fixable. How is the cab floor?


John Deere, MTD/CubCadet and Honda are the only homowner walk behinds
with caster wheels, and they work good too, but are overpriced imo.

[TylerHuff]

haha what cab floor? the floors are pretty shot but replacement panels are pretty cheap

[JohnC]

Nice pick up for free! You can never go wrong with the free purchases!

Not bad for free. It needs a good amount of work, but not too bad.
I need some clearanced fenders like yours for a demo truck I'm going to build. The rules say I cant cut them.

[morcey2]

I hate you. Unless it came w/ the Olds 350 Diesel. Then you paid too much. Unless you want to swap in a 455 olds, then I still hate you.

Why can't I get a free truck?

Seriously, very cool.

Because you don't live in the rust belt.

Not sure what you mean. Our roads here are paved w/ salt from November - April.

sorry, I thought you had a better climate. Generally trucks from the midwest and north east look like this. Or so I thought.

haha thats great if you lived a little closer i would be more than happy to hand them over those fender are the first to go in the trash.

I already have a rust free hood and front fenders for it and this week im going to be picking up some new doors from a friend for free and a newer not bent up tailgate so im pretty lucky on this build lots of good parts sitting over other peoples houses that i know that need to get rid of them. i do need a bed though or atleast bedsides these are pretty trashed

[JohnC]

The rate you are going you aren't going to have any money in this truck! It's like winning the lottery! Hurry go pick some numbers!!!!

[billnorman]

WOW!!! Remind me never to drive in Missouri in the winter. And I thought I had rust. You need a few new parts, no doubt. Looks like a good excuse for a cab-off start.

[Driveway Dreams]

I am glad you got this thing for free. I would have had to harass you for buying it. Really though...looks (and sounds) like a fun project with all the free parts.

[BGRAFX]

Any progress on the free ride?

[TylerHuff]

wow its been a while since i posted this. There has been some but not a lot of progress im very busy with house repairs before winter but, I did get the new doors, fenders, and hood put on so it looks really bad being a whole bunch of different colors.

I did work on getting it to run and still kind of doing a little bit at a time on it. i got a new edlebrock carb that i just put on last night. the old 2 barrel was missing just about everything on it and i already had the edlebrock sitting in the garage. i had to put a new starter on it since the other one was locked up and new battery and wires and i turns over and fired once but i havent tried to start it with the new carb on yet.

The guy that gave me the truck took the wagon wheels back and gave me 5 brand new chevy rally wheels which i still have to paint and get tires for.

I just got the bug again and started messing with it a couple days ago since most of my time recently has been spent installing new doors and insulating my attic and garage.

[BGRAFX]

I still need wheels for the rallys I got from Chlsnk. Thanks man I painted them satin black. I think I will go with 275/60r15's on my burb.

[TylerHuff]

well i had a change of plans im going to part out this rust bucket what good parts there are and then scrap the rest. Im going to pickup my new ride today and i need to get rid of one so the free truck is going to be no more. here is a pic of the new ride

[billnorman]

Here you go again. I see the new ride has an emergency brick. I would say this one has more promise. Be sure to pass the free parts out to needy folks, karma.

[BGRAFX]

Hey give me your address I will be there lickity split to get that free truck off your hands.
Nice Blazer! And where are the pics of the Dually?
