Pics Finally

[Clunker]

This is a test to see if I am uploading pictures correctly. If it works, I'll post the rest of them.

Looks like it worked. Here are the rest of them. You can see that the body is pretty straight, and the trim is in great shape. She's got a little surface rust, but the only really bad part is the floorboards (yes, that's daylight in the floorboard pic). I'm not a huge fan of the aftermarket gauges, but the price was right.

Other discoveries: Receipts indicate the the engine was rebuilt in '99 and only has about 25k miles on it. Stock exhaust manifolds were replaced with 4-to-1 headers into a single 3" pipe. Enjoy!

Good looking truck. It's like any vehicle you buy, you will want to put your on personal touchs on it. Have fun with it!

Clunker where did you get the turn signal indicator lights for your insterment cluster ? I have a F600 panel and cant find the round button lights to replace the arrow cutouts!

Looks good. Have fun fixing it like you want it.

ramtoo,
Unfortunately, I don't know where the button lights came from as they were installed by the PO. They look great, though. The truck came with a stack of receipts dating back to 1970, so I'll see if I can find any reference to them.

Nice truck! But let's get that CD/radio into the dash where it belongs!

I couldn't agree more, flyboy2610, but have you looked at how much room is behind the stock stereo? I don't think that any modern car stereo would fit in that amount of space. However, I'm one step ahead of you. I'm toying with the idea of making a custom dash top with more efficient defrost vents. The current top is trashed, and changing the duct locations might free up enough room to relocate the stereo. Still under investigation.

ramtoo,
I looked through my receipts and didn't see any hints of where the blinker bulbs came from, but I saw some pretty nice lights at Radio Shack yesterday (red, green, and blue). The plastic part looks about the same, but you would need to find some kind of chrome bezel for them.

works for me!

Down in Pullman, was born and raised in Spokane but now live in Omaha. Check any truck stop and your likely to find those lights. Look like a canvas to start painting on. A lot of work but a Mona Lisa hiding.
