Fresh Off the farm
It is a true survivor that has not been molested, modified nor butchered up
I recently purchased this truck from a farmer just north of Charlotte, NC
It is one of theMost originalLongbed trucks that I have seen in recent years.
The truck still has most of its original paint.
You can tell where someone has used what looks like silver roof paint to go over the top of the bed rails and hood.
The truck is a Lariet edition and comes with most options offered in 79
Tilt Wheel, Power Steering, Air Conditioning, Delay Wipers, Automatic Transmission, Cruise Control, Quad Shock front suspension, Deluxe Lariet Interior
Tagged and Insured in passed month.. Transmissionworks fine,
Transfer CaseShifts into and out of4 wheel drive..
Really good set of Michelin LTX / AT 235-75-15
on 8 inch wide Chrome wheels
Floor Pans and Cab Mounts ... Solid..No problems
Some Surface Rust on Frame Rails and Inside of Bed
The truck needs a Little TLC on almost everthing
The tilt wheel does not stay locked in position
Air Conditioning looks complete ..but does not work
Cruise Control looks complete .. but does not work
Radiator has been replaced with new plastic one..have original
Electric fuel pump installed..do not know why
Front Bumper bent, Front Grille bent, Rear Bumper Bent
Tailgate has rust thru spot just above handle
Rear bed has rust on Drivers side..1 inch spot thru first layer of metal
Passengers side door has dent
Driver side of seat has seperatedat the seam and you can see the foam
I think the motor has a blown head gasket....
Water going somewhere..Oil looks good... no foam in radiator
You were probaly going to freshen the 400m motor anyway
The truck does not look like anyone has ever done alot to it.
Under the hood looks original with most of the wires and hoses in place..... It looks like it did in 1979 ....
Remember in 79 and 80 the first thing we done to a truck was to knock out the small gas filler hole .. so we could still fill up with regular gas
This truck still has the small gas filler hole
Buy this truck as an Original Unrestored truck that is
going to need a little Loving everywhere
Odometer shows 44868 miles
but I would think this truck has more than 100k miles
This truckwould be a Great candidate for Short bed Conversion
If you have less than 10 feedbacks..your bid will be Removed / Rejected

I have owned this truck for about 2 weeks...Just long enough to get the title back form Raleigh, NC
