It cleaned up ok (with three generations worth of help) but was in pretty rough shape. Cab corner rot, couple of fender dents, bent bumper, had to keep it on one side of the dual tanks because switching to the other one sent a constant dribble of gas out of the switching valve (and onto the exhaust).

I drove it 2 hours away and got it in the garage. Stopped at napa on the way and grabbed a drip pan for the leaky 305. The thing had no power whatsoever but sounded pretty good (glasspacks).

Later that summer before I had done much with it my buddy from college stopped through town (picture relevant). We hung out a bit and I had to eventually look it up and prove to him that yes they did sell a 2wd half ton with a 454 as a factory option.
