Re: my new truck
 

Welcome to the forum stavenman. Thats a super clean truck you picked up. Looks like Paw-Paw took great care of it.

Re: my new truck
 

It looks so nice I would keep it as close to stock as possible - I like that stock look. But I am old so that explains my opinion.

Re: my new truck
 

That truck is sweet! Welcome aboard!

Re: my new truck
 

Welcome! I also second keeping it stock. Maybe throw a set of wider ralleye's on there?

definitely going to keep it mostly stock besides the wheels and bumpers.I do need a new dashh I'm looking for a nos one if anyone knows where I can buy one

Welcome to the forum. I picked up a grandma's truck like that some time back (57k miles). I've been messing it up for months now. I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking some measurements for me from your un-mollested truck for me. If you could measure from the center of the wheel to the fender well front and back. I lowered mine and I think I went too far. I'm kind of an old kid so I just had to go hog wild lowering it and I didn't take the time to take measurements.

For rour dash someone witll pop up shortly with Stitch's web site. He make some real nice covers for them and door panels too. (Nice stuff)

Re: my new truck
 

welcome ..clean find

Re: my new truck

Re: my new truck
 

Exactly, the truck looks great. I would put some chrome elephant ears, thicker tires, sport bumpers, clean that bed and drive that bad boy!!! :devil:

Re: my new truck
 

I definitely got lucky with this one the only thing was it cost me 1300 to ship it here from port Townsend wa to ct.im definitely leaving stock

I'd leave it as is, white bumpers/mirrors and all. It's only stock once, and that's a bad*** looking truck. It's just so cool to think it's totally unchanged from when it rolled off the line in 1980/81.

Re: my new truck
 

Great truck man, I'm digging the white bumpers:metal: I would leave it as is..
