Truck is in really good shape for a ’76.
Engine ran perfectly, started every time, and crank and bearings show
absolutely no wear! Head gasket failed, so needs new gaskets.
Clutch, pressure plate and throw-out are all in good
condition.
Overall, this truck is a real looker and sounds
amazing, and every time I take it out, I get looks, waves, thumbs-up and
comments about how awesome it is.
WHY AM I SELLING IT?
Honestly,
I love this truck and have so much ($50K parts & labor) into it, including
purchase price of $23K, but now I am starting a new business and would like to
put the value of the truck into the business instead of completing the resto, which is 90% done.

WANTS:
1. If you are a planning to
do more work on the truck you could spend some money making the engine
compartment look pretty, but nothing is wrong mechanically under the hood other
than the head gaskets.
2. Of course, if you want to
do an off-frame resto, then, this is the perfect ruck to do it to, since so
many new parts have been installed.
3. Door parts – you can get
here: https://www.lmctruck.com/body-components/body-panels.
4. Undercoating if you plan
to run the truck in winter.
5. Front Grill Outer Trim is
slightly dented above the driver’s side headlight you can get here: https://www.lmctruck.com/grilles/stock.
The engine runs great and I have updated many parts on it since this image was taken. It now has chrome edelbrock valve covers and air cleaner. I am repairing the leaking intake manifold, and have many new parts that will make the engine compartment look a lot newer.
