Picked this truck up for $750. Body is not great but engine runs smooth.





Picked up two 15x8 4.75 bs cragar d windows.

Future plans are to lower about 3 inches and paint. Im thinking maybe a medium grey primer!

Pics to come of the progress.

Sweet! That was my first truck ever. Bought it new with completely stripped interior. No rear bumper, no arm rests, no cig lighter, no radio and blue vinyl covering the floor boards, manual trans. Drove that truck all over the east coast. My dad sold it on me when I got stationed in Germany.

If you ever want to sell it, let me know.

I doubt it, but you never know. If it was, then its in good hands. Oh, if it was mine, I was more than a bit rough with the clutch and transmission. Loved that truck. Had a ton of fun in it.

The old rims were 14x6 i believe. The new black rims are 15x8+6 offset. I used 195-65.

Thanks for the offer on the lift

Roby, I lived on the other coast then. My dad gave it to my little brother to drive for a while before selling it, around '90 I guess.

Hey Seven-20 just wondering were you got those new wheels and if you don't mind telling me how much they cost. I really like those wheels and have been trying to find some for a good price.
