New Ride
Picked this up this weekend, bad color but the truck is near perfect, got to love Arizona trucks. It needs painted, but the only bad rust is in the drivers rocker, everything else is solid, I have never seen a truck have a body that is this straight....Got to add power steering, front sway bar and probably will make it an automatic. Nice ride though for a long bed, very quiet and so smooth to drive. Best 2800 I have ever spent, well except for my green machine..

Re: New Ride
Thanks for the comments, the seat belts are actual GM, dont know if a dealer put them in or what, but the other ends are under the seat.

Re: New Ride
Sierra Vista is near FT Huachucha, off of 90, Someone put AC in it, Iam going to take it out and put in a vintage system, I hate the color too, but it gets your attention, I may use the same color. I painted my green machine the factory green and its sharp.

Re: New Ride
Is that the color that is called grapefruit yellow? I think it's a good looking color, but to each his own. Looks like a great find.

Re: New Ride
Very nice truck!~ just so you know those seatbelts are a factory GM option, not many truck were orderd with them, so yeah pretty rare (especially black ones) and if you decide to sell them one day, you'll be very happy with what they bring on eBay.
I got a black set stashed away for my truck but not as nice as yours, congrats!
