v3...the Dents we find

[taxreliever]

Exact match to the email I received. It's a shame; that's a purdy truck.

Not that Purdy underneath and in the bay:

It has the AC box, and you can almost make out a compressor, but it's in the wrong location and the alternator should be there, right?

I like the interior of this truck. It looks to have air conditioning and cruise control. Not to mention that the topper looks original.

This is one used rig.....I'm more in the market for a frame off/show truck condition type dent.

Roll down the windows and go faster.

I might do this for a $2500 rig, but I aint using manual AC for $15k, that's for sure!

I'd price it at about 6500 +/- after seeing the engine and underside. It's amazing what a truck can hid under its pretty paint.

That's what you call 'polishing a turd' or 'putting lipstick on a pig.'

I'm not seeing an A/C compressor in the engine bay??????????? Normally if it is factory, which it should be because it has the box in the engine bay, the compressor would be mounted above the power steering pump. And once again, there is no fan shroud.

Yup....it's what I thought! I think Austin's figure is about right after this.

Where's the shock absorbers !!

Behind the spring?

Not there...just the brackets...no shocks

 

[Blue Goose]

Where's the shock absorbers !!

The handling package had quad shocks. One shock was in front of the axle where you see that unused bracket. The other/primary shock was behind the axle. If the truck didn't originally have the handling package option, that unused bracket wouldn't be there.

I'D BE ALL OVER THIS IF it was 4wd!!! Price is right....it's not lifted, but with the condition this thing is in, that would be something I'd do to it.

On a second look , I do see red shock boots behind the spring.

This truck looks the way I remember them as a kid. Bug deflector on the hood, roll bar with lights and box side rails. Love it.

I meant the forward shock.

I think my first 78 truck had dualls on the front.

My '78 has the quad shocks. It was part of the handling package. The set in front of the axle are getting hard to find.

This one reminds me of Bob's and I really like it.....it's a standard, so other than that, I think it's close...price seems fair.

I like this one too, but a little too pricey and not 100% sold on the color:
