Good Topic...

1LowToy · 10-16-2011, 12:03 AM

It's coming along. I have a stepside bed for it too, but that will me more time yet. All good things come in time.

Kerlijah · 10-16-2011, 08:34 AM

Got my 79 from my dad last Christmas. It's a daily driver, and definitely still a work in progress...

Nice truck. I saw the houses in your pics, and thought they look like houses in Texas. Then I saw that you are in Texas. My daughter lives in Keller , Texas.

**Palf70Step** · 10-16-2011, 04:14 PM

So far just a clean-up, tires, plate and removing bed toolbox are the only things you can see. Has new tranny, interior and soon to have new 350 crate. Plans include a mild lowering, hopefully before too long.

sethv · 10-16-2011, 05:14 PM

Here's my truck, before and now

When I got it:

Thought the stepside was ugly and the tube grille killed it for me, so then I traded $100 and my old bed for a fleetside bed, and traded the grille for a stock grille

Then that grille broke, thanks to a tree or something out in the woods, then I put a '74 grille on it. And here it sits now...

texasfunk · 10-16-2011, 05:30 PM

About when I started
