Barn Find

This suckers been sitting for a while.

Description & Modifiations

I listed this as a barn find even though I found it in my own "barn". This truck has sat in my garage unmoved for the last 9 years. It is originally a California/Arizona truck but I got it pretty rusty by playing in the snow up here in Rochester for the first 2 seasons I lived here.

This year has been mostly an exercise in getting it running and road worthy, new battery, new horns (Hella), registration, insurance.

Mods from it's previous life include 2 inch body lift, 3 inch suspension lift, 33x12.50's Grant Signature wheel and "No Wheel, No steal" kit, Roll Bar, Bestop Bikini top, 4 barrel holley with manifold from a 392.

More rust removal for the rest of this year once all functionality is fixed, I noticed some weakness in the floors and the rear quarters sound as if the only thing holding them together is the paint

Engine

345 with holly four barrel, Odometer shows 62,000 which I am sure means 162,000 but that may still be a bit low.

Yeah it looks like it needs a little TLC for sure. Keep us up dated Rick. (said over 2 years ago by Rob ).
