Hi,
I am a proud owner of a 1979 gmc. Dont know much about these trucks. i recently purchased a 1979 gmc 3/4 ton camper special at a really good price. Few options: power windows, locks, steering, tilt wheel, AC, 454BBC. Couple pics of it below. i'll get better pics later.

Welcome to the board and very nice loaded truck you have there!

THE "10" SILVERADO · 02-15-2012, 09:38 PM

Glad you found this board. I didn't know squat about these trucks when I got mine but there is tons of knowledge to be gained here. You will be an expert on your truck in no time.

plans are to bag it, nice wheels, roll pans, paint it the same two tone colors (different blue), remove one of the gas tanks, different grill, and give it a real good cleaning! and much more
