Cab is in amazing condition. Almost all is as original, no hacking going on here.
390, C-6, D70. Truck has rust behind trim on passenger fender and rear bumper is toast. Bed floor has been used for firewood and is beat but I have extra bed that is very nice and straight. I also have another set of grill inserts that will go with truck.
Engine does not run. Truck sat for many years. Surface rust only underneath.
Great start for a project.

Underside of truck has surface rust but nothing that I would call significant. I was checking it out this afternoon and bottom edges of doors have surface rust but is still solid. Doors close solid with no rattles.
Cab mounts/floors/rockers are GTG. Passenger fender will need patch behind wheel. All trim is there but lower trim has some dents and dings. Interior is really nice with original floor mat and dash pad is not cracked. Seat has 1 nickel size hole on driver side but is perfect otherwise.
I did get the engine to turn over but I have 2 other trucks that I'm working on and never got back to it.
I soaked entire underside in Ospho to hold off anymore rusting until I could get to it.
I am including extra bed with spare tire hanger/grill inserts and passenger fender in price.

If it was me I would remove body/sandblast chassis/rebuild brakes/paint chassis and call it done. This truck did sit a while so it's gonna need some attention here and there but is a great start to a nice truck.
Truck is located in NW Indiana. I'm an hour out of Chicago and 2 1/2 from Indy if that helps.

Here ya go.
Front panel has a few dings but otherwise is very,very good condition.
I believe it is from a later truck.
See, it is already loaded for you and ready to go.
I really want this to go to someone who will restore it or at least get it running. Heck, I can part it out myself but who wants to see that? Not me.
