I inherited mine from my Grandma/Grandpa. The engine had already been blown and seized, so I don't feel bad about putting a diesel in it. It wasn't going to be original anyway, so I figured I'd have a little fun with it. Make it more unique.

These are some pictures of my truck and an original one. It came with a tonneau cover but they were prone to shrinking and didn't stay snapped. I still have the original floor mats in excellent condition and some of the original paperwork that went with the accessories.

I always wondered if that tonneau cover we had was actually original option for that truck. Too bad it shrank so bad it wouldn't fit anymore. My brother threw it out.

I do, however, still have the original floor mats and they're in perfect condition, even after being used for the past 20 years.

I found those a little while back when I was looking for body panels to restore my truck. I had planned on grabbing a set once I got everything done and painted again. My original ones are a little scratched up...
