Nice find Brandon. Going to swap in a new hemi and A/C?

Extraordinary! The thing behind the grill is the selenium rectifier for the 1st generation 100 amp charging system. It means your truck was a HF radio truck or carried a rat shack.

Nice acquisition! Looks like it can be easily kept in 'as found' condition that is now becoming more popular than full restorations.
Is it a Canadian truck? I ask because mine is and it has the hard top which I was told is usually an indicator of a Canadian. If so it has the bigger displacement engine with better design than the US versions.

I believe that is Drew, not Brandon.

Got the truck home.

I slaved it off and it does turn over but no spark. All the wiring is trashed.

Very nice find! That truck should clean up nicely.
