Interior is a little ate up but I wouldn't kick it out of the driveway not badly priced either.

"All Arizona interiors are ate up". But I would gladly trade dash pad and seat cushions for rusty rockers and cabs.

Yep. I don't think they put the 454 in 1/2 tons did they? He probably put C10 on the detail sheet in error.

I think they did but @bucket would be able to give a definitive answer on that.

Either way, his ad text doesn't state 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton, so I don't think he is trying to pass it off as something it's not.

They did in the 70's. I can never remember if '79 or '80 was the last year. 2wd only of course.

Did the 1/2 get those big tow mirrors from the factory? That wasn't a just 3/4 or 1 ton thing? Maybe another clue to it being a 3/4 or no?

Does seem pretty clean for the price I agree!

I think it's a given it's 3/4 ton. Only posted it in case any of our brothers from the rust belt looking. For a starter project it looks solid enough to me.
