Is the OJ that Yezzi had purchased?

What upgrades are going to be done?

tuffss · 10-07-2013, 11:14 PM

Hi, yes this is Yezzi's old truck that now resides downunder, there was always some rust issues at the bottom of door & fender, so now thought was a good time to address them, not touching the rest of paint leaving it all as original as possible, this thing is so dry the panel guys are amazed at how clean she is.

Sweet!

You have by far one of the cleanest squares I know! I'll be staying tuned to watch but it's a beautiful truck and glad that it's gone to an owner that will cherish it. When you get a chance think you could post some detailed pictures for me? I just would like to see how clean it is inside and out.

No worries will be a pleasure,
Cheers Mick

Hi 77ChevySharkBite
Recently got OJ back from the panel shop, the guy's done a great job on the rust section mentioned earlier, as you requested before I thought I'd send you some photos of OJ, hope these are OK.
Cheers Mick.

I noticed a toggle switch under the dash. What is that for? I have one in the same exact location. Honestly my truck looks to be the brother of this truck only a bit rusty.... Such a great truck. Thanks for sharing.

tuffss · 10-31-2013, 07:47 AM

Hi, my truck has twin fuel tanks and the toggle switch is for the fuel gauge to register with depending on which tank your on, switch to the right, RH fuel and vice versa.
Cheers Mick.

She looks like brand new. Nice truck!

Low Elco · 10-31-2013, 08:35 AM

Damn, that's a nice truck! Wonder where he got those steelies, they're perfect!

77ChevySharkBite · 10-31-2013, 08:51 AM

Thanks for the pictures tuffss, OJ is a beautiful truck probably has one of my favorite paints schemes. I love the stance and the time you're taking out to get OJ fixed up right. Again what a beautiful truck.

Now you can enjoy!

rusty76 · 10-31-2013, 11:44 AM

Cool thanks for the answer. Now I have to look a little harder about my truck. I always did wonder why there was a switch there considering it didn't have fog lights. I always thought it was some old man add on junk. Oh well.....now I've got to investigate. Thanks.
