I seen 2 78-79's this week, couldn't get a picture of either of em though.
One was rebuilding a bar that burnt a couple months ago, extremly "dented" body
One was setting on the side of a street and looked like it had a good 4, 5 gallon buckets of rust on and under it.

I see 3-4 a day on my way into work. I live in the country, drive to the city. The wife and I drove to Montana in March and I saw plenty in east Oregon, Idaho, and Montana. Our trucks are doing very well in these states.

Here in the San Francisco suburbs its rare to spot a Dent in good shape but when I was doing a lunch run for HIO Silver and Old Style I spotted this rare sight. I took it as I was traveling N/B El Camino Real at Britten ave in San Carlos and this truck was parked facing Southbound so I shot the photo while I was moving.

The only way I was able to see this pic was to do this quote, post it. Hit edit then back out. Now I can see it in both posts.

found these 2 within sight of each other on the same straight stretch (which means pretty darn close if you have ever driven in West Virginia) while the wife and I were out for a drive on sunday. The yellow one has 1 ton drive line and a set of 47" swampers, not sure about the engine, didn't want to get to personal with it not knowing the owner. The red one has a fresh, but quick paint job on it and would be a great project. Also I bet it could be had for WAY less than $2,500.

I also saw a '73-'74 in ugly faded Forest Service green but seemed in pretty good shape. Again, I had no opportunity for to take a shot.
