These two are the together pics of my Macho before disassembly. I have the front clip removed, the cab stripped and almost ready to pull. Then I'll work on the box removal. After all that's done the trans doesnt go in drive but the guy sent a trans rebuild kit with purchase of truck. Engine i guess has like 2000 miles on it since new rotating assembly was put in and heads gone through. But I've got a hopped up 360 thats brand new I'm putting in. Transfer case has new chain and seals. But the frame needs to be completely stripped, sandblasted and undercoated. I'm realizing I probably cant do the body work, so this project may take a considerable amount more time due to funding. Purchase price was 150 bucks. Should I have just let it rot away? or am I doing the right thing. :roll:

Cool truck! Methinks saving it was a wise idea.
