Well, it was a bigger POS that what I orginally thought, but it will be hunting truck nice. Not a show piece by anymeans, but a nice truck. You know how that goes when you go look at something you really, really want. I was impatient, but the price was good. $800. The drive train was worth a good chunk of that. The carb and intake is worth probably 1/2 that.
My plan is to drive it for a year or two then sell it. Use the cash to but a slightly better truck of the same body style.
I do want to take this 78 to chicken buck. I think a truck like that belongs there.
The hood I put on it this weekend is a copper/brownish. It's growing on me a bit. The body man almost has me talked out of putting the trim back on it since it will be a hunting truck. Seems my friend Dave told me the same thing, so there may be some truth to that.
