Hey guys, sorry about the photos. I hadn't taken any when I made my account here. So quick update, it's actually a 1971 521 (production date June 1971 according to door placard). I've been working on the truck as I can after work. I don't have any pictures of the interior, which is currently being torn apart, and I just ordered all new brake parts: drums, wheel cylinders, hardware, master cyl. you name it. There was a problem driving it home. The brakes seem to build pressure and not release it fast enough causing the brakes to remain applied, thus causing the engine to want to stall out. It's got a few broken wheel studs in the rear. The frame is straight and rust free, and the floor pans look pretty solid. There is actually very minimal rust on the truck. I hope to get some photos up as I work on it and make the truck right. Bought it from a hobbyist, which is no problem, I just have a higher standard for the work done to the vehicles I work on.
