Title: Hello from Indiana
Post by: Bonanza76 on February 13, 2011, 11:32:12 am: I recently purchased a 1976 C20 Scotsdale with Bonanza badges on it. From the vin it shows it has a 350 4 barrel in it. I got it from the son of the original owner. Its in pretty decent shape, it was sitting for a few years, but only has 70k on the odometer. It looks like there are a lot of passionate owners on here and hopefully they will help me when I run into issues. Here is a pic of the beast

Thanks for the info., yeah I'm not real fond of the running boards. The only rust I have seen so far is in the lower part of the front quater panels, about the size of a silver dollar. I probably will also replace the dumbo mirrors with a different style.

Post by: Bonanza76 on February 16, 2011, 06:49:33 pm: Thanks everyone! The running boards have been removed as of tonight. This weekend the original grill will be going back on. The PO gave me the grill when i bought the truck. Hope to get a replacement tonneau cover put on it at sometime. I'll post an updated pic once the original grill is back on it.
