Vehicle Description
Body off frame restored to show condition. This is a factory big
block 396 short bed truck with air conditioning. The CST (Custom
Sport Truck) was the top of the line featuring a significant amount
of extra exterior trim and a more deluxe interior. All of these
features are documented with the original SPID (service parts
identification) label still affixed to the inside of the
glovebox.
EXTERIOR: The paint is like wow! It is the brightest orange color,
with the shiniest, smoothest finish I've seen. Jambs are slick. The
body is mint, everything fits right and it's straight. No bubbles,
no cracks. All of the exterior trim and chrome has been replaced or
restored- grill, side moldings, taillights etc. New windshield,
window gaskets, weatherstrips etc. Inside the bed is solid and
straight and has color matched spray in bed liner. Has a cargo
light. It's set off with some 20 inch chrome Ridler wheels, wider
in back. New performance tires.
INTERIOR: It is completely restored inside. Has deluxe houndstooth
upholstery, even the headliner. It is all new. Inside of the cab
has been repainted same glossy orange. Dash area is restored like
new. Chrome instrunent bezel, a/c vents, knobs sparkle. New deluxe
steering wheel. Has an upgraded stereo system with auxiliary plug
and 6x9 speakers in the door panels.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT: Detailed to show quality. The inner fenders,
firewall and bottom of the hood are gloss orange. Correct 396/402
completely rebuilt. Upgraded with an Edelbrock aluminum intake,
Edelbrock carb, coated headers, aluminum water pump and HEI
ignition. Many new parts like steering hoses, alternator, pulleys
and more. Has big radiator with the proper shroud and fan. The
interior is kept cool with new air conditioning system, polished
compressor.
UNDERSIDE: The body was removed from the frame, new body bushings.
The metal under this truck is clean and smooth, painted satin
black. Completely rebuilt front end, upgraded with fat tubular
control arms. New springs, shocks, brakes. New custom dual
exhaust.
This truck really pops, it will stand out from the others. Not to
mention it is loaded for a truck, back then trucks were just work
vehicles. This was not a fleet truck, someone ordered for
themselves. Restored better then new, I say that because paint jobs
never looked this good from the factory!
