New Guy from North Idaho

Good evening all, just found this site and it seems to be packed with information.

I picked up this gem this summer for $700.00 think I made a good deal ? We towed our new travel trailer 2000 miles with it this summer just a few weeks after we bought it.
Here's a picture and a link.

Welcome, nice ride!

Did the wheels and tires come with it or did you add that? If it came with it, that's worth the $700 right there. If not, that rig looks like a nice work horse and for the money. I think you got a great deal regardless. Did you have to put any money into it mechanically? Also, I noticed the temp guage wasn't reading when you took a picture of the dash. Did you just take off? And two batteries?

. For a fully functional truck, I'd say you did pretty good!

Welcome to our little corner of cyberspace. You'll come to find out FTF has a dentside section that is second to none. As for the truck, it's damn near impossible to pass up a $700 truck, much less a SC driver. I say you did very well.

What a great buy. And Welcome

Thanks Guys. I put the wheels and tires on after I bought it. Several problems were uncovered during the vacation this summer. I have since replaced the water pump, timing chain, Weian Stealth intake, Summit 750 CFM vacumme secondary carb, new radiator and a temp sender which was why the temp guage wasn't working. My plan for this truck is to, over time, make it bullet proof and a reliable work horse. It might even get a paint job when the mechanicals are done

It's real cute and all ...but what engine and transmission it got in it?

ps- Great deal BTW.
My parts-trucks were $500 for a '75 with no-engine and $800 for a '90.

Welcome to the site. I agree with all the others. Great deal and nice truck.

 

[oldtrucks]

Thanks a lot guys. I'm very happy with the truck so far. I restore/restomod truck and cars in my retirement and this truck just turned over 90,000 miles, so this one will get the full treatment as money and time permit.

You guys have some really nice looking trucks too. I've got a long way to go to begin to measure up to the quality that is here on this forum.
