A New SB: 1979 C20

[wixthedog]

So, rather unexpectedly, I added another square body to the collection. While I cannot say my wife is super excited I think she is getting used to surprises.

I found this 1979 C20 online and the guy was having a hard time selling it. After reading the post I knew why, it was miscatagorized and the spelling was horrible, making searching by potential buyers nearly impossible. I was after a OEM hood for a 73-81 when stumbled onto it, dozens of pages down the search rabbit hole. It is a very solid truck and the price I paid was silly so it came home. As it sits it will crank and run for a short period and then die. There is some rust in the fuel filter so I bet two clean tanks and a new filter will get her going like a champ.

I'm not big into 3/4 tons (unless it has a CTD) so I am deciding what to do with it. Keep it (wife angry), flip it (wife happy), or strip it for parts (SB community unhappy).

Thoughts?
