Official Truck Picture Thread

[Unofficial]

I've done a little bit to it since these were taken. I took these on Christmas when it was given to me.

I got a spray in bedliner, and I cleaned up the interior a lot. (It used to be a beat up work truck)

[Fordeatinz71]

wow, that is a clean truck!  what year?  i know it's an 85-87...well, unless the grille is wrong, lol.

Thanks, it used to belong to my very very old neighbor. He would only drive it in the summer. You wouldn't believe what it used to look like. It was a flat blue color with a topper, side steps, and it looked different on the outside. It's a 1987 Custom Deluxe. I believe it's an R-10 1/2 ton. I wish I could show a before picture, but it's not a digital picture, and I don't have a scanner. But yeah, I LOVE it. I turned 16 on the 19th, and my dad restored the truck and gave it to me on Christmas morning. I'll post an updated picture later. Thanks for looking, there's some really cool trucks on here.

It sucks because the picture has the truck in the background in the distance, it's not the subject of the picture. I spent all day looking for more pictures that would have the truck in my neighbor's driveway, but I found nothing. I could ask his still living wife...

I think the beaters are just as cool. Reliability is the key here.

I'm back, and here's my contribution...

A 1987 V1500, TBI 350 and a 1973 C10 Cheyenne in pieces. Someone's gotta represent the ol' "mustard trucks".




Before the teardown...




And my neighbor's 1973 pull truck...

Post pix of the floor!

That is one clean, nice-looking 73 C10 Cheyenne there!  Go mustard trucks!
Mine was mustard yellow once, before I got it.  Some bozo painted it refrigerator white... except for inside the cab and inside the bed.

Most often, East Coast trucks aren't nearly as clean as you think once you start tearing them apart. Front fenders, for example, can look sweet as sweet as pie until you try to break that lower-rear bolt loose... Wow, look at all that rust! I just threw out two bedsides that I thought I could save... rust on the insides clear up to the rails.

I recently scored a nice set of fenders and a radiator support and expect to have the cab and nose ready this summer. Then again, you never know which way a project could go this early in the game. The only thing I know for sure... it'll be Mustard in the end.
