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

then you'll have both

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".

My '79 doesn't have a hood release in the cab...

flamingbig10 · 11-12-2009, 11:18 PM

from 77-80 the inside hood release was a option

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

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.
