I have received a lot of help from yall and now I really need some help. I must sell this truck immediately. I won't bore you with the details, but help me sell it please.
It ran in the summer and as far as I can tell it has water in the gas which has frozen. I thawed and cleared the carb and fuel line to the gas tank, now I need to deal with the tank. It tries real hard to start with gas in the carb, there is fire, but not enough fuel. I drove this truck for about four years and it treated me well. I need to get $1,600 for it, that is all. If I get it on the road, I will ask more, but I think it is well worth it as is, and it is too #%$& cold to work on it. Pay me now and pick it up this spring, I have the space and I promise not to pull parts off for my other 78, which is what will happen if it sits here unsold long enough. Anyway,
here is the list:
Needs-brake booster (that is why the vaccuum line is pulled off and plugged, to avoid burning a valve)
brake work in general
window washer bottle/overflow bottle
battery
alternator
air cleaner
sidview mirrors
rearview mirror
suspension
tires (you get two sets of rims with dry rotted tires, yeah!, I was checking out how they looked, that is why one side is different)
I think that is about it. Yes there is rust, but I'm sure we have all seen worse. See the link for pics.

Plan a trip for March 1st and watch skiers jump ramps while being pulled behind horses at 40mph down main street here in beautiful Leadville. And then take your project home.

SOLD for $1350

I sold it with pictures only. The new owner plans on painting it mustard after a frame off resto. Awesome, now I can concentrate on my other cruisers.
