Re: Hello New Here
Welcome to the forum, some great info on here. My brother brought a 78 new with a 6 banger, it ended up with a 454 and 60s in it before it was done. I use to drive it once in a while, it was an awesome truck.

Enjoy.

Looks good. How's the weather up there? I love Deadwood, visited there this summer on vacation. Parents might go to Sturgis this year, they love it up there too.

Re: Hello New Here
In the second to last pic. I have to ask... Is that a pillow down under the truck? I know you've worked hard on the truck but are you living underneath it too?

I love the 73-74 grille,When i bought the truck i had no idea how many differant grille there were,And out of them all i like the deep dish 73-74 , it kinda matches the one in my car,And not really i got to sae the front piece of the bed and the drivers side bed piece ,everthing else will be replaced.

As in anouther thread How far gone is to far .
And both those trucks rock i have wanted a 70's truck for a while and now i have one may have to get anouther.lol
