I had to drive out to West Virginia today for work and passed a large indoor flea market.
Talk about a giant mess! It had a lot of junk in piles and plastic tubs scattered all over. I spent my time looking over everything and spotted this big guy at the end of the last room. Perseverance pays off!
The owner wanted $35 but I only had $20 on me. He took the $20
If I remember correctly the date is 6/78. Is it a 426 D?
Upon closer inspection after getting home, the tank won't get any pressure so I will need to check the gaskets and oil the leather cup. Rust is only superficial. A lot of what I thought was rust is actually dirt. It should look a lot better with a good cleaning although I am thinking of doing a complete restore.
