sokoji's 1979 Pickup Build-Up Thread
 

So, I think there is something wrong with me as I have let another one follow me home, even when its not that great of deal. So now I have another 1st gen this time a 79 and also a longbed. $700 and she is all mine.

The day I got it

Pulled out the bench and the carpet and all this mud and mice turds that were left. I was really suprised sense the window seal is leaking, that there is almost zero rust on the floors and no rustout.

With the grill from my other truck

Now this truck is going to be almost 100% stock compard to my other one.

Did some more work, gutted the enterior cab. Prepping it for some Herculiner. Figured out why the vent wasn't working, was filled with a big rats nest. At that point I decided I would start bathing everything in bleach.

shoulda sold it and saved it from the scrapper dude, it had lots of potential

All we needed as the axles and it's way to beat up for anything

still sad to see a yota torn apart

Ya it sucks my girlfriend is restoring hers

Ouch, that coulda been a nice build

it needed alot of work,
