Nice truck.

350 or 305?

The fiberglass cap does come off. There are 2 "hidden" bolts near the tailgate posts that you will to remove first though. The rubber seals are notorious for leaking so check the bed for wet spots.

Was the truck up north most of it's life? If so you'll probably alot of the same rust issues as me. Rear floor near the tailgate and the tailpan, rockers, inner wheel wells, and the floorpans.

 

it has the 350 in it!

ok sweet im glad to hear that! the chick im getting it from didnt even know that it could come off i thought it did and thats y i asked. yea its been in maine its hole life. the 350engin has been rebuilt along with the tranny. umm i think when she bought it all the rust was taken care of but the dore pannels need some work lol gotta take care of the rust that has showed up in the last 3years

 

Crawl around underneath and do some checking. Check out this thread. Click HERE. The first page is relatively benign with the exception of the cancer I found.

 

Looks pretty nice! You're going to need to replace the rocker panel on the passenger side judging from the picture, but the rest seems to look pretty good.

*EDIT* - I know that you are excited, but please try to abide by the rules of the forum. Thanks!
