This truck is about 95% done and would'nt take much to finish and if purchased we could also finish it at Fullerton Fabrication after purchase is completed. This truck was being built as my personal shop truck over the last year and a half. but due to unexpected home improvements I regretfully have to sell it.

It was built with a lot of original patina but also built to be very dependable and extremely fast.

I would be willing to sell this truck w/out motor and trans if interested. For sale locally and I have the right to end auction early if necessary.

Please call for more details if necessary. it's alot easier to discuss over the phone instead of emails.

I would encourage you to come and inspect truck in person to really appreciate it.

It is being sold AS Is. NO refunds.

I also have a complete set of fenders. the front ones are pretty nice. the back ones need some work. The running boards are in extremely nice condition as is the front panel under the grill and original head light bar. These items are for sale seperatly to the person who buys the truck.
