Some things about the truck:
- It was made in the Los Angeles factory and had the optional 283 cubic-inch V8. The factory engine blew up and was replaced with a 350/Turbo 350 combo out of a Monte Carlo. That also blew up, and was replaced with what was available (and free) at the time: a 235 Straight Six with a 3-speed manual out of a 1956 Chevy Sedan. That engine and tranny are still in the truck.
- It has rust.
- The fuel system from tank to carb is all new.
- The battery is new.
- The front wheel bearings have been upgraded to new, modern-style roller bearings
- The wheel cylinders and brake lines are all new, and the master cylinder was honed and had new seals installed.
- The headlights, taillights and brake lights all work.
- It starts, runs, drives and stops.
- It’s registered through August, 2026 and I have the pink slip. You’ll be able to transfer ownership with the DMV from your couch.
I’m not offended by low offers, so feel free to make one. It’s hard to know exactly what this truck is worth; there aren’t many like it. It needs love, it’s never going to be a show truck, but it’s a legendary year, make and model, and it’s pre-smog. You can really do anything you want with it. With some work, it could be a pretty cool old truck.
