Tony, go to photobucket.com make an account and upload pictures there. Once you get the pictures uploaded, copy the IMG code, and past it into a post, and voila.

I picked it up from my uncles farm in Carrot River Glen. It actually belonged to my cousin, who got it from his dad. Rear end blew in it and it got parked. I didnt get a good pic of the other side, but it has a few holes there. I got it cheap thats why I got it haha.

Has a 351m, 4 speed, its an xlt with no air tilt or cruise, has buckets and a console.

Also came with a spare 351/400m motor, and a spare 4 speed tranny, and transfer case.

Hey now we know what happened to Archie Andrews old car.
That would be a good one to do up with the old 4cyls they had. Just leave it looking like that way as an old jalopy at shows. Guy will always say they do this with it or that or restore it back to it day. Just intersting to hear the different story's and dcomments if the car runs and left driving with the duct tape headlights. Just the way it is looks so cool.
The Archies comic car.

Hah thats pretty funny Glen!, Never thought of the car that way!

I would like to restore it to original, just cause I know my uncle would have wanted too. Kinda as an In memory of him sorta thing.

It runs and drives right now too, which is a plus for a guy who knows very little about working on engines other then a diesel, a v8, or a straight 6 lol

Well I guess you did not have the winning bid on the red truck at SGI. It went for nearly $23,000.
You still got yourself a nice ride. Thumbs up.
