Ratatouille

The guy on Craigslist wanted 3k - I negotiated it down a bit. Here are more pictures along with things I'd like to fix: 1. I'd like to reupholster the seat: 2. The floors are in good shape, just need to clean them up. 3. Engine picture, need to tie-down the battery, check out the windshield washer pump, and get things cleaned up 4. There is a hole in the front tube of the exhaust piping, so the truck is quite loud right now. 5. The temperature gauge isn't working, the other gauges work fine. A couple other pictures:

Hey Guys, thanks for the welcome. That is indeed my truck, I did pick it up in Roswell, NM. It is a '72 and unfortunately the paint is not original, but they did a good job with the repaint. It is in a very stock condition - it has a numbers matching L16 engine. I am really liking this little truck as is and enjoy driving it around town, so I am in no hurry to make drastic "improvements". I just want to make a few changes: Lower it and maybe convert to disc brakes. I will post pictures of the interior and engine bay as soon as I can.

Hello Ratsun! I recently found a 521 in New Mexico and was fortunate enough to be able to pick it up. I am learning a lot searching this site and decided to create my first post to introduce myself. I am not very mechanically inclined but I'm willing to learn and get my hands dirty; my dad helps me a lot when it comes time to work on my cars. Since I see that you all enjoy pictures, here are a few: Driving it home to Colorado: Finally in my driveway:
