I am in Kingston, Ma., between Boston and the 'Cape, just north of Plymouth. I bought it in '89. Was looking for something different to go to the lumberyard, and haul firewood with, like an early Econoline pickup, or a Willys 4 wheel drive. A guy at work told me about his old truck that had haad an electrical fire, so went and looked at it, trailered it home. That was back when there were several junkyaeds around and were full of old Dodge trucks. So, the kids used it to go back and forth to high school, and wheelin' up in the woods and on the beach, we were always fixing something. Eventually, they out grew the need for it --- finally !!!! This past summer, I found another 70's 360 motor w' 30K miles on it, was in a camper. So right now, it's in the garage with the nose off, gettin' resurected --- AGAIN !!!!!!

That's great.
You're the real deal. Long time Fan!

Yellow is such a great color.

Hope to see even pics of it as
it progresses back to it's former
glory.

As you may know there are a lot
of parts available from good sources
including these folks.

And if you ever decide to part ways with it let me know as I would love to buy it. I've got two ruff ones right now, a silver one and a yellow 4 speed one like yours.

At first glance, it looks like mine !!! In a month or so, I will have my roof off also. The original is rotted out around the drip rain over the windshield, rains right onto the directional switch !! So, I got a different roof to put on -------- does it ever end ?????

I'm not exactly sure I just know it was south of Boston. He was a construction worker and was working on the Big Dig when they were building it. Havent seen it again since I sold.

It's to bad you couldnt find a factory sky light sunroof truck that was being parted out so you could take the roof off it and put it on yours since your putting a new roof skin on it. That would be a neat option to add to your truck.
