That has a killer patina and yah the trim is worth as much as the truck itself. More details on this one paaahhhlleeeeaaazzzeee.

Still feeling it out.... number one is to make it a daily driver that I can take to shows on the weekend. We will see where we go from there. I just retired after 25 years in the US Air Force so I have time on my hands, we will see if I have the talent to pull this off.

This is how I found it....good body....not the original engine, still straight six. No rust but I think many after market panels. Not looking to make it a show truck but want to make it nice enough to take to a show on the weekend.

Thanks Ratty, she needs tons of work a lot of untalented people abused her in the past

Looks like a great "pit" to start in!! Especially if the body is at neat and clean as it looks upon 1st glance. Good luck and happy fixing!

Thank you sir. Just some minor touches. Wheels and some cosmetic touches. It has fuel injected small block. Four link 9 inch rear and chevelle front clip. And all kinds of other goodies! I will put a build log together shortly!

My wife talked me into getting out of the shop long enough for a 75 mile drive up in the hills today since the weather was so good. Here's some pics.
