lowered 440/auto trans, clean a couple of things up on the body and just spot the paint in,I want to save as much of the natural patina that I can.Oh and tubb it so I can stuff 33x19.50 M/T's out back

[facechicken]

I know its your truck and all that.....but I would leave it all the way it is, sure up the engine and brakes.....that thing is awesome just the way it is......can I have it

I can't read that plate, what does it say?

A CSS ute....god I want it

[wally426ci]

Holy crap, are you serious? It obviously is yours but there are enough to choose from that you could leave it stock.... Looks like you've already done that to 1 so maybe have a stocker to drive? Looks too nice!

Congrats! That is a great looking truck. What type of hood ornament is on it?

Best,
Danny

[tubbed71]

no idea what the hood ornament is off of?

[tubbed71]

If it was a HPP I would go the resoration route but,the buckets and console are gone as is the original engine and trans

[PwrWgnDrvr]

fyi, it is only the 3rd confirmed CSS ute. I have the other 2 (both are 4 eye - 64 and 65). There is possibly another, but the ute bed was replaced with a wide bed.

[tubbed71]

a 4th turned up today on facebook a black one

[tubbed71]

I know it's a rare pickup and I will keep the CSS flavor,but the changes I am making can be reversed by the next owner.The frame will remain stock and I will even leave the rear spring hangers.

[facechicken]

Or you could sell that one to me and tub out a different ute . Are you going to cut the bed up and weld in bigger inner fenders?

[tubbed71]

yes but bed sides are are easy to find,I 'd consider selling but nobody will be happy with my price

[PwrWgnDrvr]

That bed has original paint that matches the cab. Once u cut up the sides, they are destroyed. If sides are so easy to find, maybe find some and cut them up and save the originals unmolested.
I dont consider anything posted on facebook as "confirmed". Really, only that which is in the CSS registry is confirmed.
Maybe u should name your price before thinking nobody will be happy with it.

[wally426ci]

I agree with Terry.

[soopernaut]

I can't read that plate, what does it say?

That is the SERT sticker. It says SERT Summary, Seats, Console and Carpeting. Then it has the corresponding SERT numbers.

[facechicken]

I know its a sert sticker, I just couldn't read what was on it on my phone

[tubbed71]

I have $6,000 in it with parts I have,it's been repainted so what you see isn't original.

Nice CSS That's a rare truck. Have fun with it.
