Tonight mine pulled a few cars out of snowbanks, and is sitting in my driveway, icicles on the grille, wheels just white cakes of snow, buried up to the lug nuts in powder, straps and chains wrapped around the bumpers, the outline of the wipers clear in 4 inches of snow on the windshield... A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.

Mirrors are gone and the drip edge on the cab has been removed and lastly the fuel filler door is gone. Where do you add the petrol? Behind the licence plate? Is there more stuff no one noticed?

73-80 models had recessed wipers hidden under the back edge of the hood.

I've seen alot of 73 models that never had drip rails on them from the factory. The fuel filler door was never on this year of truck either as the filler cap was on the passengers side of the truck right in plane sight.
