Greetings, I've recently aquired myself, in my opinion, a great looking beast of a truck. Everything I've checked over so far has told me that it's a 1 ton B-1-D. It appears, to me, that it's mostly origional, apart from the condition of the seat (faux leather) and the lack of bed. The guy I got it from claims that it was to far gone, and had tossed it. Oh well, that just opens More options of what to do back there. Notes I've made so far. 1: It starts, and idles fine. It also moves under its own power, stopping however is a little bit tricky, as there seems to be next to no brakes. I should probably think about working on that. 2: Exterior body rust is minimal, interior rust, well lets just say I've got a few extra air vents below the door hinges. 3: The 3 speed on the floor seems to be in good condition, but I'll have to wait till later to find out for sure. 4: There's about 38,650 miles on the Odometer. Give or take the possability of it having turned over once, or twice. 5: As it's a standard, I'll be having fun learning how to shift/drive properly without killing the clutch. 6: Front windshield does seem to leak, I'll be looking into that at a later date. As I do plan on doing as much work on it myself as I can, I've gone ahead and purchased a service manual, and that book by Don Bunn. I thank you for your time. Pictures will come as soon as I finish cutting down their sizes a tad. have arrived!
