Barn Find is an over-used term, but just look at the photos! Original 350 V8, TH350 Automatic, Original Paint and Original Interior. NO RUST. This pickup was sold new and spent most of its' life in Oregon. That is where I purchased it. A dealer found it there in a garage, covered up and neglected. It had all kinds of junk stored in the bed. The original owner traded it in, and the new car dealer did not want a vehicle that old. A VERY reputable classic car dealer bought the truck, cleaned it up, detailed it, used paint-less dent repair on some small dents, and proceeded to drive it a bit for the better part of a year. I bought it from him this Spring. I drove it from Scottsdale to Colorado! I used in in Colorado this Summer and then drove it from Colorado to Dallas! It runs great! The particulars: Original 350 Chevrolet V8 with Rochester Quadrajet Carburetor that has been re-built. Original exhaust manifolds, heat riser and Air Cleaner Assembly. Jack is properly stored under the hood. All stickers present on Air cleaner, inner fenders, glove box and door jam. It even has an oil change sticker on the inner side of the door dated 1980. Has what appears to be an original bias ply tire mounted on the spare! (see photo). Absolute time capsule. Interior has NO rips or tears. Paint is wonderful. Small cracks in paint on front of the hood. Has Power Steering, Power Brakes, and Dual Fuel Tanks. Engine runs great! Strong oil pressure, runs VERY cool. Transmission shifts PERFECTLY. It is almost undetectable when the shifts occur! I changed the Oil, Oil Filter, spark plug wires, spark plugs, re-built the carburetor, and changed the Transmission filter fluid. New Fuel and air filters. Runs great! I have driven this truck on the interstate. It is road worthy and ready to go. Fly in, drive it home. The exhaust system is quiet, per factory specifications, BUT it has dual exhaust vs. the factory system. The previous owner simply put duals on the truck as the single exhaust had decayed over time, and it was cheaper to go back with duals than to build a new crossover piece at his local shop. Standard 16.5" wheels with the correct Chevrolet Hubcaps and almost new Firestone 16.5"x9.5" Radial tires. There are two sets of wheels, (total of 9 rims and 8 tires) all 16.5", as the original owner used Summer and Winter tires. I have 4 wheels on the truck with nearly new tires, a spare with a bias ply tire in the spare carrier, three more wheels with bias ply tires mounted, and the last wheel has no tire mounted. There is an aftermarket AM /FM radio in the truck now, but the dash was NOT modified in any way what so ever, and I HAVE the original GM AM radio. I was going to put it back in, but AM / FM sure beats AM! Original windshield with the antenna in the glass. EVERYTHING works, save the fuel gauge which has a common gremlin to these dual tank systems. I am having that checked now. Truck runs and drives out perfectly, but remember these things ride bouncy if you have nothing in the bed being a 3/4 ton. 4x4 system shifts from floor mounted shifter, and works great! There is a plastic bedliner in the truck. I was going to remove it, as I hate them. BUT this one does have a textured surface that helps things from moving around, so it was better than nothing and I left it in there. There were also diamond plate caps on both bed rails and I removed them, as I hated the look. There are a few small paint scratches where the caps were in place. That could be touched up, along with the cracked paint on the front of the hood. This is a VERY special old truck, that should give years of service. Parts are EASY, as many were the same from 1973-1987 when this style was in place at Chevrolet (many items changed also, but parts are in very good supply for most things on this vehicle). No one can guess as to values in the future, but if I were guessing, if you take care of this truck, it should be worth your purchase price for several years. People love old trucks, NOTHING beats an original like this. Why am I selling it then? I simply do not have anywhere to keep it, and I am currently building a new garage. I price them where I sell them,so the price is firm. I do not ask $17.5k to get 12k. I say that so as to not waste your time, or mine. This one is that good. You can pay less, but you will end up paying more to get to where this truck is now, and it will not be original like this one.
