What do i need to know...

My next truck I want to buy a 73-87. Would like to get it already in decent shape.

Gotta be a 4x4 carbureted . Im open to 1/2, 3/4, or 1 ton. whatever i can find in good shape.

Basically what are the major changes year by year. What would you buy? This would be kinda of a sunday driver restoration type. I know the grills are really screwy. Some pics of those would help.

Re: What do i need to know...

overdrive is better,,,, stay away from a 305 and watch the cab corners rockers and floor supports
