Trashed till she died. I don't get why people would keep it like that for years, the famous big plans strike again.
It looks stolen but I assume you got papers with it, good luck, something must be off.

Anxious to follow this one!

A+ on your vision to save this one. I will be watching your progress. It makes me reminisce about when I started my resurrection project. Good luck

Papers are in order, pulled it home today and it rolls smooth.

I like the optimism.

Got the wheels mounted and did some pressure washing. Taped a plastic tarp up to keep the headliner protected and went to town. I will give it a hand wash inside and out this weekend then move it into the garage.

Towed it to the house...

The door cards are cleaning up pretty good. I'll end up cleaning the fabric a few more times, using a denatured alcohol, dawn, and hot water solution.

Sometimes I feel like these guys should be paying me to advertise for them but results don't lie..

Looks awesome Marc. I love the white, the lift and the fitting name. It’s a lucky find for sure and a lucky truck!

Stop messing with doorcards , a compression check is what rolls the ball
lol I think nothing will stop you and this will be running perfect, it looks nice at your home.

Good for you for seeing past the dirt and missing parts. 100% improved already.

 

[ROBsSON]

Looking forward to this! Subscribed! It's amazing how clean stuff can get with with some hard work!

Good save!

Good score. 4 eyes rule. 3fe is dead simple efi- a tractor that runs like a timex. TPS calibration, not replacement. Fusible links. A440. Unplug and plug in every connector. Diagnostics codes. Easy.

All in good time my friend...this thing has to be cleaned up to make its way into the garage. I don't mind grease but did you see all the cobwebs and such? It's nice out today so it should be in surgery by the end of the weekend.

My first love only has 2 eyes so I'm a bit biased, Thanks for the rundown, gives me hope.

That doesn't mean that you can find the pieces for the front end and do a swap!!!! Before I got BeBe I almost grabbed a local 62 and the plan was to do that and a 5spd swap as well.

And actually, I believe there is a 60 in Rancho Cordova at the Pick N Pull there (at least there was a month or so ago). *** Yup just checked and still there, has been since late July so probably pretty picked over but you would be able to get the stuff you needed unless it had a front end collision.

This one has the grill and headlight doors so it will stay 4 eyes. The valence and hood have a dent like something backed into it after they were removed...unless it hit something and the ones in there were the replacements. The bracket that holds the 2 headlights isn't bent though. It's kind of a game of investigative guessing. I will post some pics of the area.
