That's awesome!  Dad had a 69 LWB with 3 on the tree.  That thing would always mess up the linkage when shifting gears.  It was green with white on the top of the cab.  I was hoping to find one for me and the boy someday.  Glad for you!

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

The one I had in HS was green with a white top.

For sale:  Rear view skull mirror $1,000  :icon_eyes:

So it needs a little TLC and some nickels and dimes thrown at it:

Shocks
Speedometer and cable
Rear view mirror
Goofy decals on the nose and the tail gate removed

At least you have a green steering column to remind you of the old days!

I have a pretty nice edelbrock carb I'm taking off my racecar that I would sell pretty reasonably.... should you want to dump the quadra-bog.

Yeah, different shade of green though.  It looked like this one: 



Hoping it's pretty easy to take off and I'll sand it and just paint it black.

I will definitely keep that in mind.  Right now I'm buying a house and need to save my pennies and dimes.
