First Old Truck

[NotNuRodz]

I picked this truck up at an auction down in Jane Missouri last weekend. It's nothing fancy or desirable really just a long bed, small back window 64. I went to get a 59 el camino for my dad but it was a mess and this truck was one of the most solid old trucks I had ever seen.

It has the typical rust in the lower front fenders, but the rest is amazing. The truck looks like it's been repainted once before, I tried to polish it up a little and it's got a nice patina shine now. If it was all original paint I would probably leave it but because I work in a body shop in the summer I'll probably paint this thing.

I got the truck home last saturday night and luckily my dad owns a car lot so he had his mechanics put on all new brakes and clean out the fuel system and now this things runs and drives surprisingly nice.

Here is a short plan of action for this truck:
1.new bed wood
2.lower it
3.swap in running 307 I have laying around
4. fix rust and repaint

Heres the truck on it's way home


And some pics after I cleaned it up
