79 2wd shortbed or 86 4x4 longbed?

Those two tone brown trucks are one of my favorites. You just don't see them very often. I like them mostly stock. At most a couple inches of lift and oversize tires but nothing huge.

i would keep the 79. if you need 4x4 and are concerned about driving 4x4 in winter buy a newer one. if you cant rescue both of them send one my way. but i like short squares

Gorgeous truck rs74! And yes I plan on keeping it mostly stock. I have my 70 GTO I'm restoring for hot rod mods and such. And I really don't like newer vehicles Marty. Plus I'm still finishing up college so I really can't afford a newer vehicle. It's tough enough trying to restore an old car and pay for the gas for a 4x4 brick on a grad student stipend. I don't need a truck payment on top of it! Right now I plan on selling the 79 in the spring when the market is better. Once my GTO is finished I really won't have as much of a need for a 2wd truck. I'll have the 4x4 for going to my cabin, camping, hunting, hauling, bad weather, etc and I'll have the GTO for sunny days and cruising. It's tough to let go of such a gorgeous low miles rust free truck like the 79, but I'd rather give it a good home and put the money towards my restoration.

Not my truck. Just the pic i tried to send you when you PM'd me. Had the pic saved for awhile now. You just don't see many that color anymore.
