The truck is BEAT! It lived life down on the Mississippi Gulf Coast all it's lif. The salty air took it's toll on the body and is too far gone. The ony thing good on it are the engine and rear end and some odds and ends that aren't affected by salty air.

There was one down there that was in pretty good shape before I left. It was a good candidate for a restoration. I was thinking of getting it but too many irons in the fire, It was straight and little rust. The engine was done and it had drums. Mine was a disc brake truck and a rebuild kit for my 360 and the swap would have been good for that truck.
I am getting back in a few weeks. If it's still there I'll holler at you. Just PM me and remind me in three weeks and I'll get some pics if I can. The guy has a LRET too complete with stacks and wooden on the bed.
Me and a workmate had been driving by the LRET for some time and one day he said he stopped and looked at it. It was sitting in a vacant lot w/ a bunch of other vehicles.
He said there was only two (2) things wrong w/ it. Excited, I said what was it.
He said there was a sign on it that said "Not 4 Sale" and another that said,
 "Don't touch this fu(hin truck!".
Yep, those are two bad things to see alright.

I ended up meeting the guy and talking to him about the white truck like mine. I forgot how much he would take but later told me he was getting 20 calls a day on the LRET. He was never selling it. The first truck he and his wife had when they were married was a LRET and she had recently died. I understood then about his gruffness.

Remind me Wally.

Also where is the numbers on the block I need to check to make sure it's a 360.
  Look behind the starter,this is a 318 in the pic.
