That's a nice 78 Truck there. Looks in really good shape.

I got it stock for 600$. motor ran good, body is clean and semi straight. needs couple dents fixed and rust in the drivers floor. easy repairs. need to paint it. its dirty right now normally it looks good haha.

so far i have done a full tune up, plugs wires cap rotor ect. installed an autometer tach and oil psi and coolant temp gauges. edelbrock performer 400 manifold, holley 650 carb, new valve cover gaskets and paint. also repaired the exhaust with dual cherry bombs! installed a JVC deck, 2 12" rockford subs, custom box, mtx amp and 6.5" door speakers with tweeters.

working on getting the carb and manifold on, removing the ac crap, installing square lights with HID's painted black grill and headlight bezels. removing the side mouldings and shaving the tacks off the side. also going to repair the rust, repaint it and get some new tires soon! Im so happy with the truck and im less then 1000$ into it so far!

Good to see this thread come back alive. Good lookin trucks guys.

As I've said many a time, my girl will never have to worry about me cheating on her with another woman...she needs to worry about the trucks.

I watched a show today on the "Pacific Highway". At the very end I caught a glimpse
of a brown and cream two tone dent with a camper on it coming at the camera on the side of the road.
Thing looked mint

It finally got washed...first time in probably 15 years. lol!

her is a pic of my new dent.

Doesn't look too bad (when its still wet)


She doesn't care, she loves her truck! (check out that rock! )


Picture for the wedding invitations!

Ooooo, a 3/4 ton even. Nice. Reminds me of the old mans 77 I grew up with, same color.









Congrats on the engagement!!!

I'm going to assume that since I'm only 50 miles down the road, that I'm invited? I know how western ND weddings go !!!!!!!!!!!!!

..........and you have to drive off in a classy rig.

Way to do it up Lee...I like how you incorporated the white and purity of your truck into the wedding.
