I just got my dad's old Custom Deluxe. Nothing too fancy (4.3 litter V6, no AC, Automatic) - probably the base truck you could buy at the time. I have the original window sticker for $10,200. It has been sitting in a barn for about 15 years and has only 30K miles and all the original Equipment, except someone "borrowed" the spare (so I need to find another rim). The truck is matte black with a red cloth bench seat, and has just a few little rust spots on the chrome bumpers and on the white painted steel rims. The truck passed inspection with ease. I do have a couple of condition concerns . I have to stand on the brakes with all my weight to stop, so I am worried that I need a new brake pump, but my dad says the truck has a manual brake and always needed a lot of force to stop. Also, the seat belts tend to not retract when I am driving around but just sit loosely near my shoulder. There is a also a lot of squealing in the belts when I idle in neutral, but the noise goes away when I shift into drive. I am also tempted to change the very small side mirrors , but I really like that the truck is all stock. Also, there is a crack in the plastic grill, and I may try to epoxy it.
I am loving the truck so far. I will post a couple of pictures after I give the truck a nice wash and wax.
