I found this bucket of bolts about a year ago. I'd always wanted a fixer upper project car and boy did I get one!
This 1969 build, '70 year model, had been sitting in Arizona for a while judging by the condition of it. It looked mostly original and was relatively rust free. The engine had a broken spark plug that had an attempted removal go wrong which resulted in a broken spiral extractor lodged deep in the well. There was no top or rear seats, along with a few other odds and ends that had been removed for various reasons I'm sure, but most of the truck was still in tact and in decent condition.
My dad and I made a weekend trip from TX on New Year's weekend and braved snow and ice to drag it home. We parked it, still covered in icicles, in the garage and let it thaw.
Just over a year later, I'm beginning the rebuild. I've taken pictures of everything so far but their isn't much to look at yet unless you like dirty old car parts. More to come!
