1979 project long nights ahead




Just got it home





Bed is shot





Little rust on cab





Had to rebuild carb but runs good.





Got bed off and pressure washed chassis.








Cleaned up decent under hood





Cab not in bad shape. <br/>

Ain't seen that yet. See a lot of 89+ on the first gens. Pretty curious to see what the lines look like together. Even though I doubt I would have a better chance at finding a second gen over a first gen that wasn't rusted bad in the south. Humidity and coastal salt spray are the devil!

Actually looks to be in great shape to me. The truck bed doesn't look to bad from the pictures. Much better shape then the ones I normally see.
