Thanks Funky61. The truck is in storage right now but I will try to remember putting up some interior and engine bay pics when I get it home this spring. It still has a 305 in it and a 4 speed. If you don’t see more pics by May, feel free to holler at me.
In a manner of speaking, I tell people it’s my wife’s truck. We looked at it and I was going to pass on it. She told me we should bring it home, and that’s what we did. So It’s her truck but she lets me work on it. She loves driving it so I’m using that as reason to putting disc brakes in it. Plus, I’ve always wanted to do that kind of conversion.
The previous owner acquired the truck in 2020 for $1,800. With the purchase price and all other expenses, he had over $19,500. No joke, he gave me a folder with everything. All the itemized receipts for parts and labor, even the bill of sale he received. As the story goes, it had sat for so long that it was almost bottomed out to the ground. He had a lot of restoration done and they had to touch just about every aspect of the truck.
I got the truck for a fraction of what he had invested. I didn’t know the extent of what he spent until the deal was finalized and I looked through the folder later that evening.
Thanks for the interest and reading my post. I will look it over for a build plate on the bed this spring.
