I FOUND THIS TRUCK ABOUT 3 YEARS AGO...Barn find. STORED ABOUT 17 YEARS...The truck had been modified back in the 1970's. I just wanted to restore what was there.....Here is what I've done so far.....

• Engine is about a 1971 302. I cleaned the fuel tank, put on a new fuel pump, rebuilt the carburator, new wires, new plugs, new electronic ignition, new 1 wire alternator, new starter, rewired everything and got it running. It runs good
• Transmisson is a FMX 3-speed automatic. Changed filter & fluid. It works and shifts good, but park does not work. I added a neutral safety switch from Dakota Digital
• Rear End is a Dana 41. I put in all new Yoke, bearings and seals. Gears are 3:73. I didn't replace them. They seem pretty good.
• I welded up all the visible rust. The body ended up fairly straight. Paint is Hot Rod Black Urethane and Red Oxide primer with a Urethane clear coat to protect the original petina on the doors and cab
• All new white oak wood floor in box with stainless steel hardware and Urethane finish
• Interior - Custom all steel dash with dakota digital guages and new stereo. Mustang steering wheel. Mustang bucket seats recovered. New Carpet. Painted flames on dash & diamond plate on door panels. Rest is hot rod black. Seat belts are vintage military lap belts
• All new brakes and brake hardware. New dual master cylinder mounted on firewall
• Original straight axle & manual steering with all new tie rod ends
• All new shocks
• I replaced the Tires with some good used ones. The wheels were on there, so I stripped, refinished & clearcoated them.
• Guages are used Dakota Digital. They all seem to work except for the gas guage. I put a new float in the gas tank, but still needs something.  I added a Dak Dig neutral safety. Now it shows the gears on the dash also. Turn signals & safety flashers also work.
• Electrical...I rewired everything and put new light bulbs and sockets in. Everything is 12 volts, New battery.
• Glass is all new
• Rubber weatherstrip is all new
• Window fuzzies are all new. Windows roll up and down nice
• There is a heater in the cab, but it isn't hooked up. That will need some attention
• Clear South Dakota Title. Truck has historical plates. You will need your own plates
• Buyer is responsible for all transportation costs. I will assist in loading on your truck any way I can
• Terms are CASH. Nothing Less. I would like something down and the balance when you pick up the truck. I will not let the truck go without full payment. There are no warranties. once the truck is paid for it's yours, so make sure before you buy. I will represent it as honestly as I can, but the buyer is ultimately responsible. PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS AND MAKE SURE YOUR CONCERNS ARE SATISFIED.

IT NEEDS: to have park repaired. Get gas guage working. Heater refurbished. Back bumper if you want one. Could use a New Exhaust system 

I just restored what was done in the '70's so some of the original work is kind of crude. The motor mounts and trans mounts are home-made, but they work. The original frame has some welding on it, but it's solid. I would call it a survivor hot rod truck. RUNS & DRIVE. It goes down the road pretty darn good. . Engine has good power and trans is a good shifter. Brakes & steering are manual, but work like they did back in the day.

Please express any questions or concerns.
