Talk Me Out of Buying This Tin Grille
We went and looked at it yesterday afternoon and for once, didn't walk away disappointed. The truck really is as solid as it looked in the original pictures. The rockers, cab corners, bottoms of doors, top of the windshield are all rust free. There's lots of surface rust underneath on the frame and suspension but looks like it would be easier treatable. I took a weak magnet with me and it stuck everywhere I put it.
I wasn't really in the market for a Club Cab but I've been driving extended cab Rangers and Colorados for the last twenty years at work, so I'm used to having a semi useless area behind the seat. It's good for holding your coat or random auto parts and the seat leans forward for easy access. I'd probably take the jump seats out of there.
It was originally a 360 truck but a previous owner had a 383 in it. The front frame rails have been cut to clear headers.
The one piece driveshaft is in the bed of the truck. Although it was full of wet leaves, the bed appears to be solid with a couple of patches
added at some point.
