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.

Some really nasty carpet

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.

 

Dude i called this guy about the truck for sale on craigs like a month ago lol, some old guy had it ha. Maybe ill see you on the road some time! Glad you took the stickers of the doors! good luck with the build! love seeing these classic brought back.

 

Subscribed too

 

So now I'm now putting the inside all back together. Here is a bad pic of the herculiner.

 

i remember seeing this thing on craigslist and calling about it. any updates?

 

i think he has moved on to a 3rd Gen single cab

 

yes he has i pretty much have this truck now!!

 

and he sold the 3rd gen and bought a 90 cummins

 

so it got parted out?

 

pretty much

 

what the hell man

 

what?

 

here is the last pictures of it as a truck the cab is off and the frame is going to scrap

 

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,
