saved from scrapyard

[ricks_RR]

just bought it it was on its way to the scrapyard . bad shape but good parts left

Makes you wonder what's all wrong with it. If the frame is still good it's above parts grade.

 

[ricks_RR]

it has a 75 360 from a van rot every where no brakes for 20 years but he has been plowing with it every year . not sure about the frame but she has parts thats the good thing

If you only lived closer.

 

[ricks_RR]

im picking it up tomorrow then i can see how bad the rot is

 

[Corey383]

I have a basic body and chassis in good shape. Plans that may never see the shop floor.

 

[ricks_RR]

do you have pictures of it corey383

 

[paul massaro]

this one was headed that way too .

 

[ricks_RR]

needs work but cool truck . i am picking the truck up this saturday due to the snow and rain just about every day

 

[paul massaro]

yes its do able i've got one in process now , its a ''phank n dodge'' fun build , all used parts . still working over the rear suspension got to get it down some and still keep the big rubber on it . and i just could not say crush it to another rare 60 sweptside that some one put a 383 727 8 3/3 in already .

 

[ricks_RR]

nice project

 

[paul massaro]

thanks everyone said it was alot of work when it was purchased . i said what hotrod isn't . it had been la'd and hoak'd up some with stock suspension n brakes . and the paint was lift'n and a raiser blade away from being on the floor . all but the left front and door

 

[ricks_RR]

good find as long as you see what is in the truck and with your ideas go for it

 

[ricks_RR]

well she is home and it has a few good parts left on it

I like the gas can strapped to the grill

 

[7mopar]

Seen that also. Wonder if it actually held fuel or had another purpose.

 

[ricks_RR]

no thats the gas tank with a electric fuel pump parts are for sale need her gone i just could not see her being crushed

 

[paul massaro]

until i clean out the tanks on mine purchases unless there drives i put them on a spare fuel source as well . you never know what will get sucked in the fuel system .

 

[7mopar]

I have put the ones that don't get moved much in the yard on a gravity feed bottle to the fuel pump. Cuts down on pump prime time, no worrying about decayed fuel line and yes know the quality of fuel. Heck I have even plumbed direct in to the carb and gravity feed them.

Hey Rick. I will get pictures of the Ramcharger one of these weekends. I have been elbow deep in my son's STR-4 Neon for the last two weeks. I'm ready to get back to work on my truck and let my knuckles heal up.
