Will be picking this truck up this saturday.I will be the 3rd owner. Already has a/c, a 350/350 combo plus mustang front end. My longterm goal for it will be a hot rod flatz copper pearl with black fenders/running board for the exterior. I have a lq9 block sitting in my garage just waiting for a body to kickstart the rebuild. Gotta find a zr2 s10 rear end to swap into it also.
first pic is what i have been picturing in my head for a while.

 

Wow, looks in pretty good shape already!! How much did you pick it up for? Beautiful truck!!

 

2500 its got some surface rust but nothing major

 

Congrats... I love it.

 

have fun with it. there are tons of articles on those AD trucks, s10 frame swaps, subframes, rear end compatibility, etc. check the project threads for what im doing with my 53

 

Damn, that's a good deal!! I'm looking for something pre-75 when I get home. Something like that would be lotta fun!

 

yah i got lucky on the find.. ive been scanning craigslist for ads all over texas oklahoma and louisiana.. I got ahold of the guy probably an hour after he posted . All he wanted was the money he put into it. Even has the the fender for the spare.
