Well it’s been almost a year to the day since I bought this and I’ve procrastinated long enough. I have been wanting another project and have done too much to this truck not to write a thread. Hopefully I can help someone else going down this rabbit hole.
I found this little pickup from another mud member. It’s been well taken care of and spent most of its life in LA. The body and frame are in impeccable condition with no cancer anywhere.
The maintenance records have been kept on an Excel sheet dating back to January 1980, in which I have continued from here on out.
Since the body and the frame are in such nice condition, my plans were to make it run and drive like a new truck but keep it as original looking as possible. No rock crawler here.
Here are some pictures of it being loaded onto the trailer prior to arrival.
