how it looked when I bought it early march '09.  Yes, i bought it at night.  Best decision i<ve ever done.  didnt need anything to pass the Ontario safety check and it's too old for a emission's test :)

still working on some bugs...  and tunning it.  what i've done so far is preatty much covered the bench with a blanket, homemade plywood tool box (found it, i didn<t make it)  and put the right size rear tires on her.  And the hammer is because the previous owner had the ornament stolen (and one of the emblems on the side), and being a carpenter, i have a few laying around.

the interior is all original with except for the rubber floor mat (even the rips in the bench seat.  i have a cover, It's just ugly then the seat itself so i didnt take a pic :P

in the near future:

-manual choke, electric fan, temp guage

-full tune up once I get a job

-box rust protection and toolbox (debating between spray liner, and paint with rubber mats)

-some nice waxing to get the nice colour back out

If you have any comments about these or recommendations, please leave me comments I want to hear your side of these.

 

thanks

Cool box. You might be surprised if you were to take a little bit of polishing compound and a buffer to that paint.(Just a thought) Keep up the great work Hammer!

you got a good lookin truck, about the tool box, it's a bit expensive for the space inside but you could put several people inside
