Here's my brand new '79!
This is Lester!
  Yes, I know the picture is crappy.  But I was too excited not to present him to y'all! Just brought him home from about an hour away. There's a lot of work that needs done, but he's plenty drivable as is. And that's exactly what I'm going to do.

Re: Here's my brand new '79!
Welcome "Lester", I feel your excitement as well. When I landed my 73' a few months ago I was stoked too. I love my rig as you obviously already love your too. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!

The bed is not great, and the pass. door has some rust on the bottom. It's the grungiest vehicle I own right now, so that means it's pretty much been relegated to winter duty. Of course, I wash my vehicles all weekly in the winter, so it shouldn't be too hard on it. Quote:
I'm the 3rd owner. The first owner was a horse farmer and blew up the diesel around 60,000 miles. Now it has an Oldsmobile 350.

 Looks nice. I like the narrow whitewalls w/earlier wheelcover look. I know that's going to change,though. I think all you'll find these days in a whitewall 235/75-15 is all season.
