Awesome 79
Hey guys, I was cruising youtube looking for cool squarebodies and I found this one. I think if you look up awesome in the dictionary, this truck would be there.
Thanks Benjamin.

Re: Awesome 79
That looks like one a friend was wanting to buy back in 1988 that I looked over. Same color too.
It had 44's on it plus enough lift that at 6'-2" tall I couldn't see the air cleaner lid while standing on my toes.

Re: Awesome 79
Yeah, I don’t know about that. Awesome may be an optimistic description for this truck. They took a perfectly good 4x4 truck and made it into worthless show truck. I thought the 6” body lift was scary until I saw the poorly engineered bugger welded on suicidal suspension. I would be scared to death to drive it down the driveway. The paint is nice though.
I give him a lot of credit for his hard work and perseverance of sticking with his dream for so many years. That alone is awesome.
