This is a wonderful truck, but it needs a bit more work to make it a great cruiser. It is a mild hot-rod with a 305 V-8 out of a '77 Chevy truck and a turbo trans to match. Rochester 2-barrel carb, awesome B&M shifter, electronic ignition, new battery, new bumpers, bumper bolts, and grill (not permanently installed, yet). Lots of new and newer parts not yet installed, such as new door panels, new wiper motor and wipers, newer bench seat (needs original style tracks), new vent window glass, new dome light, new side mirrors, new carpet. Also, newer chrome wheels, front and back glass, tail-lights, and radiator. Recent tune-up, but this truck will need a fuel pump and a fuel tank drain plug gasket soon. I MAY have the new fuel pump installed before you pick it up, but I can run it for you with gas in the fuel bowl. It runs great with no smoke. The gas tank looks good and solid, except it seeps from the drain plug gasket. Wiring harness needs finishing, too. The paint on the truck is pretty nice, but needs a good cleaning and waxing (I'm working on this, currently, and it is about 80% done). Truck will need a bed floor or kit, of course, but the cross sills and corner strips are in place. Passenger door latch is a bit sticky, but the doors (and hood) are solid and fit wonderfully. Overall, this is a super solid and clean truck. Upgraded with newer power brake unit installed under the floor. Thanks. John The tires have good tread, but they have some cracking from sitting, I'm sure. Also, they are probably a bit too wide to run permanently on this truck. As you can see in the pictures, the interior will need some finishing. It is very solid inside, has lots of character, glove box is good, and some of the gauges work. Also, you will need to add a parking brake lever. The parking brake cables are in place under the truck, but the original lever or handle is gone from the cab. The steering wheel is not original, but it works smoothly and looks decent. Additionally, the spare tire, wheel, and bracket are missing on this truck. Lower doors and steps are mint on this truck. There is very little filler on this truck. I have found only a few spots and they are under the nose of the hood, a small area at the lowest, rear point of the passenger-side front fender (behind the front tire), and the area hidden by and below the grill. The first two areas show some cracks that can be improved on; the third area will have to be dressed down a bit before the grill can be mounted permanently. The cab floor has had some new metal installed, especially in the angled, front area. Also, the rear, lower cab corners have had some work, but nicely finished. If you have any questions, feel free to email me through ebay or directly on fundukj2@netzero.net - thanks!
