Yes that is grass you are seeing and the solid state drive shaft...

wanna known something awesome...
This car was parked in 1968
40 years later... the old sob started right up. no shit

My buddy scott bought it for 500 he and I decided we'd both restore it, he'd handle mechanical and I would take car of exterior resto and body work and that we'd both go at it redoing the floors.

not bad eh?

it's the straight six, 236 0r 235 I forget cuz my 51 fleetside had one of those two also but it had the pain in the ass one. It was a powerglide, someone converted it into a 3 on the tree but left the auto dial on the column and the powerglide badge on the trunk.
