Re: Square Light vs. Round Light

keep it as it is. Save some scratch to buy a nice vintage C-10 ('73 - '80)

then you'll have both

Re: Square Light vs. Round Light

I think you should fix the suspension issues, put gas in it, and drive the snot out of it. It looks GREAT!!! Your's is kinda the look I am hoping to get out of "Bob".

Re: Square Light vs. Round Light

My favorites are the 80 and the 81-82 w/ dual headlights.

A good crossthread is better than Loctite any day.

Life is not about what you have, but who you have to share it with.

Maybe some one can answer another 79-80 trivia question. Every 79 I have owned or seen has hood release inside the cab, but some say they have seen them w/o? Was 79 the first year for the inside hood release, and was it standard in all trucks?
My 1980 has an outside hood release, so I am not sure what year they started with the inside hood release.
