** Update **
I have reduced the price on this as I've decided it's time to see it go. I am also willing to trade for a speed boat (in the $4k-$5k range) and cash.
I put new tires on it (225/75/15 Firestones) today, along with brand new moons and trim rings from Stockton wheel. It was also detailed this weekend in prep for the good guys show.
I will be taking it to the GG's show with the For Sale sign in it. I'd really like to see this go soon before i change my mind again 
** end update **
I've had this project for the last 2 years, and now i've found something new. That means it's time for this one to head down the road. By no means is this finished, but all of the major stuff is done.
It started life as a 69 lwb 3/4 ton. the PO converted to 1/2 ton 5 lug and added disk brakes. the engine is a great running 283 backed by a turbo 400. the gears are factory, and are highway gears. when the speedo says 40mph, you're doing 55mph. it's safe to say that you aren't doing burn outs in this truck.
anyways, since i've owned it, i've bagged it all the way around. RE7's, vlair compressor and a 3 gallon tank. 3/8 lines and valves and all of the gauges. it does FBSS.
regarding the body work. the truck is 98% solid. the PO did the rockers 10 years ago, and i had the cab corners done. all trim has been shaved. the door handles, gas filler, antenna, stake holes and roof seem have all been shaved. if i were to rate the body work for all of these, i'd give it an 8 out of 10. I did it all (minus the cab corners), so i know that there is only a skim coat of filler in any one spot of the truck. everything was done with metal getting welded in, not that epoxy crap. it also has door poppers via an autoloc kit.
Paint: we painted the truck memorial day weekend in 2008. Monza Red is the color. it was used on vettes in 69 and 70. it's the high end sherwin williams paint and clear, so it should last quite some time. the paint job is not perfect. After we cleared it and it dried, we realized we went a little fast spraying the clear. I have since color sanded and buffed the entire cab and front clip and it looks much better. The bed still needs it, but it's it much better shape than the cab was.
IMO, i'd call this a 5 foot truck. from 5' away, you're not gonna see any flaws in the paint/body work. however, some people say i'm picky and critical over my work.
the clip: i put a 68 clip on it. the clip is solid. the core support was repaired with new metal under the batt box, and all of the chrome is new from LMC. i sectioned the inside of the fender to give more wheel clearance, but have not done the inners yet. so there are no inners right now.
interior: the interior was also done by the PO, but it needs a few things. new non faded carpet (the carpet is good and was replaced 10 years ago, but it is fading). the bench seat has been recovered in tweed, and personally, i really like it. the dash is not cut, but has an after market radio. no A/C. wiring is all clean and tucked under the dash. I have put new metal door panels on with new window cranks and door handles. I also have a set of new arm rests that go with it.
engine: 283/400. we pulled it and gave it a gasket set last month. based on what the PO said, it has about 35k on the rebuild now. we also threw some chrome at it. it's a 2bbl setup with headman ceramic coated shorty headers. It does leak oil. It appears to be the rear main seal. we replaced it when we did the kit, and it still leaked. We then replaced just the rear main seal for the second time, and it still leaked. It has 3" exhaust to the t arm cross member, then into flowmasters, then down to 2.5" pipe going to the back bumper. so yeah, it's bagged, has a gas tank, air compressor and air tank, yet still has tail pipes. I have to give my uncle credit for that exhaust work
oh yeah, it has a roll pan in back. welded in, no seams. It also has an in frame gas tank. i need to finish the filler neck though. the bed floor is wood, and needs replaced. i cut a hole for the pumpkin, and a hole for the gas filler.
wheels: 15" steelies with baby moons and rings.
That about covers it. The truck is in storage right now up near cedar falls (i'm in waukee). When it's not snowing, i drive it nearly daily with a 25 mile one way commute. I've never had it break down on me in the 2 years i've owned it.
I'm looking for $14,500 obo. I'm looking for cash on this, but a trade for another project is not out of the question.
feel free to give me a ring @ 319.939.2035
