The Build was finished in 2015 and although I continued to refine, it is a reliable runner in cold or hot weather. Everything works with the exception of the windshield wipers. The mechanism is there but not working. This truck has not seen wet weather in my care and I just didn't try to troubleshoot the problem. I bought the truck in Bakersfield California, and the only rust was the battery tray and radiator support from acid leaks over the years and the passenger side rocker panel, typical. All were replaced and all the other sheet metal is original including the rare original tailgate. I have all receipts and a book of build photos that will go with the truck.

A show winner, it has won: Two time 1rst place 70's vehicle standing among Camaro's, Mustangs and the like, best truck 4 times, Community Choice once and a few other lesser awards.

Its a runner, it sounds healthy, it catches the eye everywhere it goes.
