Is that a half ton or a 3/4 ton? I can't tell from the angles....

Looks like a nice truck!
matador It's a 3/4 ton, not to much rust so I think it will be worth putting a few bucks into the minor repairs to put it back on the road.This truck beats the hell out of the 05 Kia I bought to replace my last truck I had to retire because it had more rust than metal.

Makes me feel better knowing they re-engineered the 318 block, that was a really good engine. I haven't to closely under the truck but I think it has a torque flight transmission behind that engine.
