Found another truck yesterday

[Bus Ted Knuckle]

I took a load of scrap to the local scap dealer yesterday. while the magnet was unloading it I looked over and saw a 1969 longbed on top of a pile of crushed cars. I asked the guy if it was for sale, he said sure for scrap price, $300, I said "will you take a check!?!" so now I have a CST longbed sitting in my shop with 119000 original miles on the 350/350 combo (complete oil change records in the glovebox). Factory AC has been converted to 134-a This truck is loaded to the max and pretty much rust free. Last on the road on 2002 according to the gas recipts. The seat doesn't have a single tear in it. It did not have a dent in it till it got to the scap yard. Now the passenger side door, and the pass bed infront of the wheel is pushed in, and the exhaust pipe is crushed from a fork lift.

I squirted some gas in the carb and is started! Looks to be a one owner truck.

Looks like I'll be using my rust bucket 72 to put this one back on the road.

I'm really not bragging, I just had to let my excitement out, my wife doesn't understand...


Here are a few pics:
