Here's an interior shot of my '79 before I picked it up a few weeks ago. I removed the steering wheel cover since and Scotchguarded the plaid fabric seat panels. But, everything is original/as new, as stated, even the AM mono radio. Still trying to determine what I want to do about that. I know there are a couple of retro looking, exact-fit (?) stereos I can buy to provide FM, iPod input, and even Bluetooth. I'm just not sure I need it. I've got used to listening to sports radio going to/from work each day, playing through the top dash-mounted speaker. Crackling and all.

On a truck that nice I would do a console with stereo and speakers in it and not touch any of the factory stuff. You could also do a plug of some sort so you could just quickly remove it if you wanted.

This one has over 500k miles on the original motor. C-6 transmission has been rebuilt 3 times. Still runs great.

I love your truck! How did you get that stance? What tires are you running front and back and did you lower it at all?

Here are a few pics of my old maroon/white 2wd 73, 6 cyl 3 on the tree....yes it even make a attempt in the mud pit!

And my old 2wd 67 F100 w/429, then my 1st 4wd with 33's.

Sorry that it has a 4x4 pic, but that is how the pics got scanned together from along time ago.
