The body has rust in all the normal/usual places. They are so commonly rusted in these places that LMC (and tons of other places) make all the patch panels for them, and they're all really cheap. (cab corners, rockers, lower fender pieces, etc.) pretty much any rust spot you have there is a cut and weld patch for it.
I included as many pix as I could. If you want more pix just ask and I'll send you more.
Usually everyone wants to pull the straight 6 and put a V8 in but I would just hate to do that to this truck because the straight 6 in it run so great! Just a flick of the key and it starts right up and sounds great.
All the running gear is original. All the steering and suspension parts are tight and straight. Frame is perfectly straight.
The engine is very clean, only has a minor rear main seal leak, no where else. (just put a new water pump on)
Gas tank has been removed, cleaned and sealed. Has a new fuel sending unit, fuel lines, and filter.
Trans shift nicely no noises, clutch is good, rear end sounds good, no play in the pinion, nice clean gear oil, no bearing noise. Driveline u-joints and carrier bearing are in nice shape.
Has no power steering or power brakes as original. That is something I think I'd do if I was to keep it. Disc brake conversion and power steering.
Dash is not cut up although a previous owner moved the ignition key into one of the radio holes? Don't know why. There are some small screw holes in the dash, easy fix.
The driver's door is a bit rough. (see pix) Fixable but I think it would be more advantageous to just replace it. Passenger door is in really good, tight condition...closes nice and lines up great.
The tailgate is pretty much toast, dented pretty badly. $168 for a new one. Or another idea is to replace the whole bed with a 90s Chevy bed or anything else that has a similar body-line. Just need to take some measurements and go look around you local Pick & Pull/Pull & Save wrecking yard.
This is a project truck. But it is a perfect project for a high schooler to learn to do some body work, maybe put his newly learned welding skills to the test. All the while getting to drive it because it runs so well.
There is no reserve, high bid get the truck.
I bought it to do a custom-mod to it, but I decided I better finish my 23 Street Rod and 68 Firebird projects first. Kinda need the room in the shop for them so the truck has to go.
Buyer is responsible for picking up or transporting the truck. It is driveable if you want to drive it home. Although I don't know if I'd trust the current tires on a long trip. Fronts are pretty old and weather checked. rears are two different sizes. Might need to throw a decent used set on to drive any real distance.

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva
Thu, 07 Feb 2013Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
