My grandpa has owned this truck since it was brand new. He drove it everyday until
1990, then after it was rebuilt it was only used for small trips around town.

Engine: 302 V8 2bbl runs fairly well, it needs is a good carb tune. Automatic choke.
Automatic 3 speed (C-4 I think)
Power steering
Hot Heat
A/C

Comes with 2 studded snow tires
Engine rebuilt in 1990
Transmission was replaced in the 80s
Old school CB radio w/ dual whips
Comes w/ a cheap truck cover
Oldschool winter front

The interior is pretty since it’s had seat covers and floor mats since day 1. The only bad is the door handles are breaking and the steering wheel is getting old.

Great truck to use for in-town hauling and short trips on the highway. I used to drive this thing all the time when I was in town when my Volvo was in the shop and when friends needed to haul engines/ other crap around town. I drove it for a month this past December and with a good amount of weight in the back it doesn’t drive too bad in the snow.

Body is rusty in different spots all around the truck as you can see in the pics

Engine misfires but it’s still completely driveable.

It runs fairly decent, but needs a little love.

One door doesn’t lock- probably an easy fix

Some random small things are starting to wear and tear

Basically it’s and old truck that meant to do what pickups are for- haul stuff. The price reflects what it is and the condition it’s in, especially for a 30+ year old truck that’s been used like a vehicle should be. The best thing you can do if you’re interested is to come to take a look at it and get a chance to drive it.

How rusty is the bed? Is it just surface rust or is it rusted through? I'm very interested.

The actual inside of the bed is in great condition, there was a topper on it from the day it was bought until about 2 years ago so the bed is very strong. The body panels are what is most rusty.

Sold!!

Good, I got a look at the pictures on my brothers laptop rather than my BlackBerry this morning and mine is in the exact same shape. Glad I didn't have to let you down but I couldn't buy that if I'd have to do the same amount of work to fix that one as mine, plus mine has a bigger engine.
