Hi all! After months of searching high and low I think I've found a great platform for my build. I'm a cruiser newbie so welcome all perspectives.
Truck is a 1987 60 with ~167,000 miles and the original 2f. PO says it runs and drives fine but isn't driven much beyond a few fishing trips a year. I won't see it until we go to pick it up on Monday. It has a few rust spots but generally looks good minus a hole above the rain gutter and what looks like some heavier rust on the rear cross member above the muffler. Any cause for concern ?
The goal is to create a reliable (well mostly reliable) daily driver and ski / mountain biking and camping adventure mobile. It doesn't have to be any of those things on day one.
If it all checks out I'll be kicking off my relationship with a 200 mile drive home. What should I expect to go wrong and what parts make sense to bring with?
