True survivor truck. It is incredibly rare being that it is a supercab that has a short bed (most were longbeds), 460 with a 4 barrel (very few 1/2 tons came with it), an automatic, Air Conditioning and dual fuel tanks along with being a Lariat package meaning it has all the fancy and sought after trim. You would have to search for quite some time to find another one with all these features and that is rust free, accident free and in running, driving condition. This truck really needs somebody to take the time to restore it.

Below are the in depth details of everything I know and would want to know if I was buying a vehicle from somebody over the internet.

The odometer reads 91,573 miles and I believe it to be original.
Passed California SMOG and is currently has registration until 06/30/2014

Exterior/Interior are almost completely original and intact.

It has original paint that is badly faded.

Original keys, one for the doors, and another to lock/unlock the hood and start the engine. 

Has the Side pop out windows and both of them work good.

Has the rear bench seat option which folds down and makes a flat bed surface. Most supercabs had small little jump seats that came out of each side and passengers had to ride sideways.

 
Previous owner was a grandpa handy man type that just used it to haul supplies.
Has a lumber rack which goes over cab, has chrome side steps, and front bumper guard from who knows what kind of vehicle, all of which could be sold as scrap or passed along to someone else to offset a small portion of the restoration cost.

 

Work Completed that I have found receipts for:

04/22/2010:  Carburetor worked on/replaced, gas tank selector switch not working, so selector switch by passed, so rear tank not working. Water pump, thermostat and gasket replaced.

01/05/2012:  Transmission serviced, flex plate and front seal replaced, and starter replaced.

 

Work Needed:

Interior is all there but being almost 35 years old it needs to be restored. It still has the original AM radio.

Exterior needs very minor body work. There is a small dent in the passenger door just below the window near the mirror. And another small dent to right front fender near front bumper.  Also a small dent in center of tailgate above the handle. The previous owner stacked cardboard boxes on the roof and they have damaged it. The tops of the bed rails have a few drill holes probably from a tool box at some point.

The Heater core is by passed so I would presume the heater core needs replaced.

A/C appears that all the parts are there, pulleys turn freely, but no belt and unknown what work needs to be done on it.

Rear gas tank  needs to be checked out, possibly needs to replace the fuel pump and/or tank selector switch.

Bumpers: the rear has a minor twist but can be straightened, the front has a crease and is bent.

Rust: Almost rust free, very little rust around pop out windows, all appears to be surface rust.

Tailgate: Needs some work as it does not open and close correctly, and handle is broken. Typical small, cheap internal parts I'm sure.

Side mirrors: both need to be replaced.

These trucks are becoming extremely popular and are affordable options compared to the sky rocketing prices of the Chevy C10 trucks of the same vintage.

If this listing is still up the truck is still for sale, however I will be listing it on a few other sites as well so I reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

 

The truck is in Fullerton, California.

 

 

If you have any questions, would like to test drive the truck or need more pictures please simply email me through ebay and I would be more than happy to help.
