New/Old Truck!

I finally got it!!! I went today to have a look at that '79 again, and took it for a drive. It is in pretty good shape, the power steering pump feels like it's on it's way out, no big deal. Check out my gallery for some pic's. Not bad for $1750.

You sure did alright there! Very nice truck, hard to find in the lariat package. Seems like decent trucks are getting pretty hard to find nowadays. I bet she's got pretty good power with the 460!

Good deal on this one, it looks great. Trucks this nice as this are hard to find anymore. I really like the Lariat interior/exterior trim and with the nice wheels it`s really a sharp truck all the way around. I can`t blame you for wanting it and now it`s your`s.

It appears to be almost if not very rust free. Very sweet, one of my favorite years.

There is some rust around the rear fenders and the cab corners are starting to bubble up under the paint. The truck is far from perfect, but she not bad. I hope to some day completely restore it.
