Wow, great truck for a great price !!

While I'm rebuilding mine, I bought an old 1976 Chevy truck. It's RUSTY as can be, but everything works and it drives nice. Paid $400 for it and I'll sell it when I'm done.

You got a great truck for the money !!

      Are you keeping the 250 I6 in it ?  That would make a great daily driver for getting around.  Nice find and yes, can not beat $350.00 for a running truck.

I wouldnt say rust free. the rocker panels and floor boards are pretty bad, but thanks for the kind words!

got my new tires and changed the transmission fluid, filter and gasket. trans still slipping a bit but for a truck that set  for 8 years and all i did was drove it around the block i think as it drives the slipping will dissapear. all i need now is to put a set of valve cover gaskets and blinker bulbs and i am ROAD READY(;

     Good luck, hopefully it is ok and not needing a rebuild.
