the 78 or 82 duh!!!

Depending on their condition, I personally would pick the 78 over the 82.

the 78 needs a carb and transmission
the 82 is almost ready to pull drivetrain, i think he said 4 bolts left to take out
i figure carb-couple hundred, or rebuild my old quadrajet, and transmission a little over a hundred,

I'd go with the 78 too. Something about those vertical marker lights just look awesome

Buy both the 78 and the 82. Use the best parts from each of them to build one really nice truck. Then sell the left overs on here or Ebay and recover your cash.

I think that might work. There are a lot of great parts you could sell. Sounds good anyway.
