My new '77 LWB
Here is my new daily driver. Bought it for $1000 spent about $300 on some routine stuff and a new battery. Truck apparently sat for awhile before being sold to a guy who got it running and sold it to me. Good running truck, some leaks but no mechanical issues. Found a small amount of rust that is within the capabilities of Bondo. And the front passenger fender has rotted and been over bondo'd in the front lower corner. Its gonna need to be replaced, or needs a patch panel.
Needs a windshield and the usual interior help. Seat is in great shape, not a single tear or hole, just faded. Can probably dye it! Decent tires for daily driving. Overall I am thrilled with my purchase. I started doing some of the basic bondo work today to fill some minor dents. I want to drop the truck, probably 5/8 and I want to freshen up the interior. Get the body work done and then paint it. Wouldn't surprise me if I chose to keep the color combo, I kinda like it. Then I'll pull the motor and trans and reseal it all. Possibly freshen up the motor. Jazz up the exhaust....wish me luck, I'm still a student of this game. Whatcha think?
