TRUE BARN FIND PUT BACK ON THE ROAD, ONE YEAR BODY! This
truck was pulled from the barn this winter and worked on to get it
running and driving a gain. Take a look at the pictures and details
below. Watch the video inspection then call Erick at
678-908-6006.
Cosmetic
- Paint/Body: The body of the truck shows normal
wear for its age being all original and unrestored. Solid steel
with minor spots of rust here and there (this is not a rusty
bucket). Surprising original cab corners and hinge pockets
completely rust free. Paint was scuffed down and clear coated to
give this patina look.
- Interior: Brand new OEM rubber floor mat.
Original and unmolested dash. Gauges work, speedometer cable
disconnected for buzzing noise (likely repaired with a little
grease). Original seat cover with no rips or tears. Has a touch of
overspray and would look nice if it was stained.
- Glass/Windows: All original glass in good
condition with no cracks. Windows roll up and down easily.
- Trunk: Steel plate welded in years ago over
original bed wood.
- Undercarriage: Surface rust only on solid
original and uncut frame rails. A few minor spots of rust in the
front floor pans. Rear pans and inner cab corners are rust
free.
- Wheels/Tires: Brand new tires on original
wheels
Mechanical
- Drivetrain: Original 223 engine was pulled
apart and freshened up with new fuel pump, spark plugs and wires,
carburetor rebuild, cleaned gas tank. Fresh oil and antifreeze. The
truck starts easily and runs strong, no smoke. Beautiful engine
detail. Clutch feels good and transmission shifts in and out of
every gear easily.
- Lights/Electrical: Head lights and tail lights
work properly. Brake lights tested and need a new brake switch to
function.
- Brakes: Brakes stop good but the soft lines
are old. We recommend replacing the soft line for safety of daily
driving. Emergency brake works
I love this 56 year body and this truck has that special look
that draws lots of attention. A few little things to finish and
this truck could be a daily driver easily. Or make a good candidate
for a full restoration one day. Watch the video then call Erick at
678-908-6006.
