Wow!  Our trucks are twins! I’m in Oklahoma, but my truck is from the west coast too (Bakersfield, Ca).  Mine is a ‘76 with just over 100K. Same orange and white Silverado camper special with the 454. You have the original radio!  You know if two women meet wearing the same outfit, they’re automatically enemies... I’m glad that’s not true for us men. If you ever have that baby in Tulsa, give me a shout!

Your looking at the worst part of the truck.
The outside body rust is the only noticeable damage.
Mechanically the truck looks great.
Might be a great candidate for a bed liner coating all over it..rat rod style..lol

Which transmission do you have?
I was surprised to find a turbo ,400 in mine.
Was under the impression turbo 350 was the only transmission offered..

Very nice!

Interior looks to be in very good shape.

Interesting that it's a Camper Special with a 454 and didn't option the second fuel tank.

Thanks.
Not going To get too far into the outback with one fuel tank and a 454..lol
Optioned with tilt,ac,am radio,manual windows,sliding rear window.
Dual batteries,but don't see the secondary set of cables.
I'm so glad the truck runs so good.
Originally bought the truck for the 454.
Should run so much better once I add the HEI,clean the carb and get rid of the old fuel.
