Its a 76, stock drive train with a leaf spring suspension.
Seats are thrashed, paint is oxidized, frame is TOTALLY intact, and the tub is decent with some rust at the rear corners.
Ill be able to build this, and keep wheeling the 62 until I need to strip the components I need.
There is pleanty to keep my busy in the mean time.

LOVE IT!

BTW, Jack...Im gonna need to borrow the trailer if that is okay. The rig is in sparks, so I dont have to go all that far.

Sounds like a great platform to start with. Does it have the top and doors?

No problem on the trailer, just let me know when.

Just wondering why you don't get a temp move ticket and drive it home?
 
Congrats Chicago.

That's a good base for a builder. Wider, longer, more power. In that order.
 
Very Cool.
Congrats

No carb, no fan and no brake lines...:meh:
This guy has what appeared to be a lot of projects on his plate, and just sort of ran out of interest on this one.
He's got a v8 40 in his garage that he is in the GRIPS of doing a coil over front with a 4 link rear.
I really like this guy. He was interested and empathetic to my plans. I basically told him if the rig wasnt cheap enough, it was basically no good to me as REALLY all I need is the tub and frame. He actually understood that logic. I guess its something only a cruiser guy/ wheeler with big dreams and aspirations would understand.
He dropped his price, and then we struck a different deal which dropped the price even more where I give him back the trans and t case.

worked for both of us.

Thanks Andy and Alvero!
REALLLY excited about this. I have a good meaty project to work on, and still have the luxury of having a wheeler.
