I figured I would post up the latest truck I bought for some reason. A guy that works for the yard bought it from the yard and drove it for a couple months. A couple days ago it wouldn;t run and they aren't mechanically inclined so they traded it to the yard for a cadillac that ran. I ended up buying it because I thought it was to good to crush. All thats wrong with it is no spark and I thoink the points slipped so it will probaly be running tomorrow. It was a later model 302 and a c4 trans. I figure I will get it running and fix the brakes and then probaly try and sell it for 1k or so if I don't end up keeping it

not a bump but a 78 f-100 that was in line for the same fait that I got a month of so ago. Figure I will but the 69 460 I have in it one day if it don't rot to the ground sitting there. Currently has a 300 and a 3spd that runs

That bump looks pretty straight! Nice save!

Nice looking wheels there, don't see to many different styles on the ole bumps, you might want to hang onto them for yourself.

Why? Better to ask why the wind blows or why do fish swim? Because it's their nature, because it's there, because it's a bump!

Great save, It's amazing what some people will scrap :/
We need an award system on here that every time someone saves a bump from the scrappy they get a star

That goes for $1000 running, I hate you haha. Anything under 3 grand here is a rust bucket.

if someone wanted the green bump and had $1000 it would go home with them. The engine could use a rebuild, I believe it has a bad ring or burned valve because it smokes out of the passenger side tailpipe
