Newbie (Pic's)
Hello all! Been checking out this board for a few weeks now, finally got around to actually joining.
Thought i would attempt to post a pic or two of my bare bones 79 stepside. Right now it's totally stock with a 250/6 and 3 speed on the tree. Got a lot of plans for the future. Should have a 355 goin in very soon, new wheels and tires and on and on  I'll keep everyone updated on how it goes. Thanks John

Clean truck.
I agree, find some stock caps, keep the black wheels, and spend your money on dropping it and putting in the 355.

Thanx for the compliments everyone. I don't know about the drop though, i'm really not much on the lowered look. Got lots of plans though so i'm sure you will see more of me around here, it's a great board!
Thanks John
