Just acquired this 79 big 10

Buddy of mine drove this back to Florida from Alabama that his mom gave him but it just didnt quite fit his taste .
One owner his uncle bought it new , 350 , 350 trans all original including carpet
and paint A/C blows ice cold and stock wagon wheels
Needs valve cover gaskets replaced and the radiator is staring to seep coolant .
Dont quite sure know what im gonna do with it might sell it but who knows . but keeping it stock is the one thing I am gonna do .

Survivor trucks are so much nicer to see than restored ones! I love it! Glad to know you plan to preserve its current condition!

Dang, that thing is clean.. I like it! Cant believe you might let it go.
If you let it go to someone.. tell them to join the site here so we can continue to see it. hah.

Good rig. Love to see when people actually care and keep a vehicle in great condition for so long.
