by Smallblockbug Sun Jan 30, 2011 11:16 amHere are some pics. It runs and drives but it needs a carb rebuild and some shifter bushing linkage work. Other then that the norm window and door seals and even a new nose transplant at some point.

Yes it was off of craigslist. I paid $3000 for it. Need to find a nose for it hopefully somewhat local. Also need shift linkage bushings as well

Welcome!
Looks pretty rust-free for the NE.
Gotta wonder how much those coil-overs are lifting the nose.

Not sure on the coilovers but it does ride nice for as little as i drove it around his yard. It was a Delaware truck for most of its life. Thanks for the welcome. It came with another set of doors as well since the drivers door hinge was pretty well butchered and welded and drops when you open it. Now to get it daily drivable and rust proof and fix small issues with it in the floor and get the heat wrking so i can drive it year round unless i get enough money together to get a winter rat for next year.

I need a nose mostly. Soon to be getting some money together. Other then that i need either new shifter bushings or figure out whats causing it to find gears tricky. I could use some mirrors but know those or fairly expensive. i gues let me know what you have or i will pm you and continue in there.

There is a thread on how to adjust the shift linkage. Start there and see if that is the answer before going to replacement.

Rebuilt the carb and installed new u-joints and reinstalled. Hopefully soon i will get some warmer weather to set the carb right and due the whole tune up. Just mostly doing the small things i can till weather breaks and i can get it actually home instead of 2 hours away.

Welcome to the site, Nice pickup project. You`ll be surprised how much
you will pickup on the imformation on your econo in givin time.Is that a
belly pan in the picture Im seeing.Most of the time those are discarded after
trying to change the oil after awhile. I kept mine on my 61 & 65.

The belly pan is still there. Still looking it all over when i get a chance to check it out. All the lights work. Wipers work and all the dash lights and gauges work. Just getting things going and hoping to be able to drive it a couple days this summer.
