I am 63 years old on Social Security without any retirement. My son-in-law gave me a 1972 Chevy C50 dump truck that needs work done on it that I can't afford, but it would really help me a lot if it was running. I live on 11 acres that has several rough gullies, not deep but rough and we can't build any barns or pens with it that rough and I know where I could get all the free dirt I can haul to fill in the gullies and level the land, if the truck was running. It needs the brakes and vacumn booster overhauled, plus the doors inside bottom and underneath the body has a lot of rusted out spots where the metal needs to be replaced and the bed has holes that need to be welded, boards replaced on side and repainted. The door latch is broke and needs to be replaced. The motor and dump bed work great, but interior needs work. I have been trying to find a part time job to go with my SS so I could try to get it running, but right now part time jobs are hard to find, since I can't work in the outside temperatures because of health issues. I would be able to help my neighbors haul dirt and gravel to fix up their acreages also, if I can get it running.
Thanks in advance if you ever consider my truck for one of your projects, it would really help a lot.
