These trucks are really addictive. I picked up my first about 3 months ago and now I got another today. My first is under 1 ton rat rod project. This one I got today... NO KIDDING it was FREE!!! Old guy said his kids had it running in 03 since all have grown and moved away. He simply said come get it! Another alabama back yard find!

Right on, nice score and the price was right. I looks to be pretty decent under the pine droppiings. I bet it'll clean up nice.

It was FREE because the seat is ripped! What an awesome thing for that fellow to give you a truck for FREE. Do it justice and make it run!

Yea got a another steel wheel because one was rotten around the valve stem goin to clean the up and get some tires tomorrow and after a break check and quick check of the vitals I'll take her for a ride. Just for the guys biting there nails on whether gonna chop this truck up... I've decided to keep it stock other than a color change.

As far as wheels go this is what I was thinking! Opinions?

Can't go wrong w/stock steelies

Re: I got another one!!!
 
what was the org color?

Downlow2xfo 01-02-2014 01:04 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Of the truck or wheels because both were painted

Downlow2xfo 01-02-2014 01:39 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Only paint on the truck I can find is navy blue

aerotruk63 01-02-2014 02:01 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Get the paint code and we can help you out with the original color. If the truck had two tone paint then the wheels would be the main body color, otherwise they were black.

But then looking at your dually with the red wheels, that's the way it should have been. Your 1 ton is awesome!

Downlow2xfo 01-02-2014 02:17 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Thanks man I'll get that paint code

According to the paint code, that would be correct.

Downlow2xfo 01-02-2014 09:13 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
In the very first post I just noticed I said it was running in 03 that would be incorrect. I meant 93. So 20 longs years heck who knows maybe she'll wear white again!

Downlow2xfo 01-03-2014 10:41 AM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Would the interior have been white also because it's currently gold?

Not white. It would've been Fawn, which is a goldish color. Based on the interior pic you have posted, it looks like yours might've been repainted a darker gold at some point.

Here's a '65 Burb fawn interior which is factory unrestored, which should give you some perspective:

Re: I got another one!!!
 
I like the original fawn/gold color of the interiors! I would never paint them the same color as the exterior of the truck as some do!

Downlow2xfo 01-04-2014 03:15 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Another question... The truck came with an alternator but there is a generator light is this common? And the only needle on the dash is the speedo. The temp guage is an h and c light there's a gen light oil light and can't remember the other sorry trucks not at my house, but is this a standard cluster? Sorry if these ?'s seem ignorant but until last year I was strictly a mopar guy!

Downlow2xfo 01-04-2014 03:20 PM

Re: I got another one!!!
 
Ok brain fart other is gas gauge and it too is needle.

Ok today I got some I had and mounted them on the stock steelies I freshened up looks pretty mean, but is it me or does it sit higher than stock should. Granted the tires are 235 70s but idk maybe I'm too used to my dually!
