So I bought this truck just a short time ago with the intention of fixing it up. I priced everything that it needed and even went out to get quotes on a few things like tires and paint. I was ready to get started, but then I was offered another truck that I want more, a 1976 Dodge Warlock (the black and gold 4x4 one). I don't have the time and space to do both, and the dodge will need a lot of extra work as its in horrible condition (family truck lots of sentimental value). This truck is a good one, and very clean. It really doesn't need a lot to be restored, I priced it out at about $2500 and that was with someone else doing the majority of the work. If you wanted to do it yourself it would be a lot less. If I were to describe this truck in a single word it would be "Suprising!" The truck's paint is horrible there is no doubt about that however if you look carefully through the photos, you will see that the body is very straight. The only dent I have found is on the middle of the truck bed rail on the passenger side. Most of the rust is light surface and you will find that the bottom of the body panels are solids which is remarkable for these trucks. There are two spots of concern and they are located on the driver side cab above the door and under the rear slider window. I have included photos of these. The truck runs great and has no issues starting up cold or hot. The previous owner put on a new altenator and carburetor, and also performed a fresh tune up. The truck changes gears smoothly and the 4 wheel drive operates great. The interior of the truck is very clean although it will need a new headliner and carpet, both of which are easy cheap fixes. The parking brake appears to work, when held down it will hold the truck in place while in gear and the dash brake light will light up. The issue with it is it does not "latch" when used. The fuel tank gauge work, however it doesn't go above 1/2 tank and is floaty while driving. I would guess that there is a hole in the float and fuel inside, preventing it from functioning as designed. The fuel tank selector switch works however currently the passenger side fuel tank is disconnected as it has a rust hole in it. The old fuel tank skid protectors held dirt against them. They are currently not on the truck but I have them. The power windows and door locks work, minus the driver door look. I think a new actuator would solve this problem. Last and not least the radio currently doesn't save any stations when the vehicle is turned off. This is because the constant power on feed to the radio is disconnected. It either needs to have that connection redone or have it connected, another easy fix.
