Yes it is, I have owned that Car for 20 year's now. It is pretty much stock with a 283 ,3 speed manual, manual steering & brakes. Have been buying part's for a restore for it for a couple of years now.

Have 350 Tpi, 700r4, disc brakes, power steering, new floor pans, new tailgate trim,etc,etc for it now, Have spent about $10,000 in part's in preparition . Goal is to start fall of next year & have back on road Spring of 08

Thanks, Rick

Plain Vanilla - just an old reliable & simple daily driver: 350 - 350 - Ralleys - plywood in bed, ragged seat & cobbled wiring (for now).

Still get asked to sell it almost evry time I take it out.

All these trucks are awesome but I see them and I'm jealous that they have the correct bed : (

Here's a 71 we finished for my brother in September. It was a complete frame-off resto that took one year to complete.
