Simpler=Better It turned out to be pretty rusty-the welded on passenger doors had been rusting out on the bottom, and into the wheel well.
The rear windows and corners are from a K car, and there was some cracking in the paint...which makes me think of flexing.
Driver's seat belts and rear seat mount bolts weren't bolted in due to a PO's hackjob floor pan repair. Legroom is surprisingly large-the cabin was made with the seat all the way back and slightly reclined.
SLS was squatting and described as "sticky"-it apparently will start working if you drive around for half an hour or so.
We jumped the car from his truck, it started up really well. Cold engine, 65* ambient. Fired on all 5. Rotted exhaust
Minor transmission slip-the classic 1-2 flare and short shift into 4th. Actually held the gears better than most 123's I've test driven.
The tailgate was a chopped up back hatch, and is removable. Looks good, a little loose. Not hinged, but it kinda sets down into the bed and is held in place with the sliding door locks you find in a bathroom stall. The bed is made of sheetl steel on unknown thickness. When he walked on it to demo it did bow ever so slightly.
It looked like a beautiful build, once upon a time. I'm going to see if my brother wants it-he has a lift and all the goodies. I'm stuck in apartment land so there's no hope of doing bodywork.
larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?

Homemade 300T pickup conversion. I don't have the space or time...although it's a wild concept. Went and checked it out.
