Jiminey that is one clean truck... low low mileage for its age also...

 

Final bid was $8,079! Unbelievable...

 

nice find! i like the floormats too. that frame is amazing get some pics up while yer workin on it

 

yeah but that thingwas like clean clean

 

I paid less for my truck brand new from the dealer.

 

I think I paid about half of that for my truck in '82.
Looks alot like my truck when it was new, blue floormat and all

 

update on my truck, i just sold my '91 and am now driving the '79. so far i have only done a basic tune up and changed the tranny fluid. and its going good. this weekend i am picking up an entire mint cab for parts, going to use the doors and fenders right now and swap cabs at a later date.

i should have some pictures of some progress by the weekend

 

another update. i decided that i had no place to store a cab so did the swap last weekend, at the same time as the transmission. all went well except i still need to get some wiring parts and finish putting the rest of the truck back together

after taking my 4 speed apart i found my tranny issue, there were 15 teeth missing from one gear, i found 9 of them sitting at the bottom and the rest were in kind of a paste that had gatherd around the drain hole.

i think i found my exhaust leak

my old transmission, can you spot the missing teeth?


this is how it sits now, still waiting for some parts but i should be done this weekend

 

Looking good... impressive amt. of work in short time... cute super you need someone to keep an eye on things...

 

thought it was about time for some more pictures,
the cab swap is 100% finished now, truck was only down for about a week, funny how fast you can get stuff done when the truck is your dd
