I have no idea yet lol
In a crazy turn of events, I have received this truck as a gift. Was told the fuel pump is out but was being used a few months before it quit. No idea what the plan is yet.
This is as it sits at my buddy’s house. Bringing it home on Saturday.
As seen in the first picture, the hood will need replaced.
The paint scheme is cool, and I am going to try and save it as much as possible. Engine looks decent and not super greasy. Interior is mostly there and not horrible, so the front will probably get a Mexican blanket cover.
First step is a new fuel pump and see how/if it runs and drives ok. If so, it’s just getting used for now.

So much want, following to see how it turns out.
That's not a bad gift right there 
Serape that whole interior plz
With that paint job there’s only one option, and that option is serape!
Damn good score Greg! Can't pass that up even if you have too many projects already. I miss owning any round eye trucks.
Stopped by and snagged a couple more pictures. Back seat and cab are in great shape still. Has dual tanks that supposedly work. AC cab and the truck was originally the same blue as my Jimmy.
And my favorite, part, and uncut dash!

I like the paint/stripe scheme!
Picked up a nice set of 16” eagle alloys today for $500! They sat outside under a tree for about a year, so they are absolutely filthy. Got all 6 plus a spare. Tires are still good too. Should be a nice setup for now.
Love it
That is super cool. Love the round eye dually
Power washed them at lunch. Better, but definitely going to need some elbow grease. Tires are good, except 2 of the aluminum have white letter out, and 2 don’t.
I’m and idiot lol.
The 2 with white letter out are the rear duals

These are going to be a complete bitch. This was after about 30min.

Not looking for perfect, but I’d like them to be decent.

This was with aluminum polish called Magic Blue and a mothers cone.
Good project for the kids
Should try a little spot of wheel acid on the inside of one to see if it would clean it up easier. I’ve used wheel acid on lots of wheels with good results. Just try a test spot first. Then polish.
They make a green polish, the name escapes me now, can usually get it at truck stops…metal perfection maybe, they use it on the rigs at work, and those guys don’t like to work to hard so it must clean them easily
