So this started life as a Dekalb co school truck, so at auction and I bought it from the guy who drove it home and decided they didn’t want it. I liked the look and thought it would be fun to leave the dents and bad paint and do a patina styled work truck.
Full disclosure I sell/flip almost all my projects. Usually before I finish them so if that happens I will inform you all so you’re not just hanging. I listed this one immediately when I got it home, it runs well and I drove it home to Atlanta from around cartersville which is 50 miles or so and also ATL traffic.
305/700r4 202,000 miles runs decent. was kept up by CO so Not surprised that the CO had converted it to r134 and charged it. They did however add the wrong ac unit from one of their fleet vehicles sooo a trip to the junkyard and the correct head unit and the AC works.
I pushed some dent out of the door but it’s better for the look to keep it the color it is. I painted the wheels and the grill and mirrors to matte black. I tried a seat cover I had in the basement for a bit but ultimately went with a saddle blanket to more complement the interior.
