passenger fender is pretty hit but there is another set of fenders!!!! the spare fender is in far better condition than this one.


The bed is looking pretty tattered as well. Missing passenger side fender.




Well, there she is! and there she will sit until i move out of my current home and into a new one. Might be able to get some work done on her there. But it is a TWO HOUR drive there... ugh. Working 7 days a week doesnt provide a whole lot of opportunity (or motivation on my part) to make that drive and work some more, then drive back lol. sorry, running on 4 hours of sleep right now. Oh and the engine's bell housing was cast with the block... is that a normal sight on these flattys? And there is two transmissions. Idk, anybody interested in the flathead and a trans? one trans is bolted up to the engine, other trans is seperate. Also has stock drive shaft.

Where can you find the VIN's on these? My fiance's cousin bought this at an auction years ago (no title). and some jerk off spray bombed the thing black (still blue under the dash) and there is a tag on the fire wall that was sprayed over but you cant even see any ridges on the plate either. Found another one in the glove box, also spray bombed. Might try to get some paint thinner and srtip off the paint to see if i can read it. are there any other areas to check???

The VIN is located on top of the driver's side of the frame near the front. Don't be surprised if you can't find it. It may be covered with rust It is also stamped on the top center of the bell housing. It wil start and end with * (stars) It will look something like this *I8-1111111*. Supposedly it is also located near the rear of the drivers side frame rail, but I have never seen one there.

Right on, thanks for that.

Being over an hour drive to where the truck is at right now, i am not really sure as to when i will be able to make it over there. Since there is not title, i was told that you can take the VIN to the county sherrifs office, they run the number and if everything checks out good they give you a piece of paper that you can take to the Secretary of state office to get a title for it. Does anyone have any experience in doing this?
