New Toy
Im buying myself a new toy.
Havnt seen it yet but its sounds decent.
Something i just notice looking at the pictures is it doesnt have a passenger side mirror/
Did they come that way I dont see any holes?
Something else is it doesnt look like it has 2 tanks i thought most 79's had 2 gas tanks?
And something rare up here is its got in dash air.
460 auto with new flowmaster exhausts.

when I bought a new 68 truck way back when, the dealer installed the mirrors of my choice, so it must be that your truck never had mirrors installed. I think thats good. you can pick what you want. my 79 has two tanks with the control by the heater A/C controls.

The base "Custom" model came with a passenger style mirror on the driver's door and nothing on the passenger side but your's doesn't look like a stripped model. It looks like it's decently equipped. As for the auxilliary fuel, that was an option.
From the pics it looks like a nice truck, congratulations.

So i got it home it seems to run pretty decent.
its had a bit of recent work , cam , lifters , timing chan and new headers and exhaust.
Needs a good polishing and some better tires and wheels.
It came with a chrome bumper in the box but no brackets?
Its NOT a step bumper s the other kind that doesnt have a hitch or anything.
Anyone know where I might get brackets?

More questions?
Has anyone changed there bed/box bolts?
Mine are loose and they dont have any rubbers between the box and the frame, I remember reading somewhere there were rubber mounts?
Anyone know for sure before I tighten down the bed/box?

Well Ive been working on new truck and its got a couple of issues giving me trouble.
Its got a new Holley 4 barrel on it and it wont stay kicked down.
It runs to fast , and the only way to slow it down is to kick it dwn like you do the automatic choke.
It idles right down but as soon as you step on the gas pedal it revs up again?
So it makes it kinda hard to drive.
The other thing is the truck heats up at random times.
I took out the thermostat and thought I found the problem , drove around the block with no heating up.
Just as i drove in the yard the guage went over to hot again.
Looked in the rad and can see water circulating so it shouldnt be the waterpump should it?
After it cooled down I let it run and it didnt get hot until it sat there and ran for 20 minutes.
