36* outside so I finished shoveling and sweeping the bed. Impressed!! And the bottom lip of the end gate is solid solid!!!
We'll know we are in the 11's when we can get away from my sons Scat …. lolI like to take the view of “never say never”....... so I’m happy to just sit back and see how it all unfolds.
That being said, if I had a customer here with a truck like that, looking for solid 11’s....... I wouldn’t be telling him it’s in the bag with a $3700 budget.
But I’ll still enjoy the show.

Time for him to install an engine.My son-in-law works at a mechanics shop. He does all the tires, brakes, shocks, wheel bearings, etc. He has never owned, worked on, or experienced carburetors. He has never set initial and total timing. Of course, except watching my cars run. He was here today talking how excited he is to learn.
this is like the colonists..... He's ready to take on mission impossible.... I wouldn't be surprised if the truck rolls past my Duster in short time... LOL Commitment and enthusiasm go beyond ones expectations every time.
Time for him to install an engine.
If you plan it right, you could be working on your Duster while he works on the truck.
Nothing like a truck. I like it. Got mine down to 3064#, now that's with a short bed all steel but the hood. Original faded paint. 505 running 11.30s so far.[/QU

Around here you couldnt get a truck that nice for less than 3 grand. No joke if you find a truck around here for 500 bucks its gonna be a complete rust bucket. Most everything around here that's older than 10 years old is a rust bucket.With acorns in the air filter here you would have probably paid around $500..
I realize though everything back East is generally $1,000 more... Also I'm not real keen on giving a lot of money for a post 74 vehicle that has to pass DEQ... It does help Drive the price down because people know you can't drive it on the street unless you spend a lot of money and getting it to pass DEQ...
same here... this was a fortunate find for us as well as we just don't see many in the local area.Around here you couldnt get a truck that nice for less than 3 grand.

Nice truck! 3064 is light! Does it hook up good with the 505 ?Nothing like a truck. I like it. Got mine down to 3064#, now that's with a short bed all steel but the hood. Original faded paint. 505 running 11.30s so far.
