The original owner said it runs and drives like it did when it was brand new. This will be my first 4 speed truck, cant wait to drive it. Ordered a new carpet for it this morning as well. My parts truck has the factory cb radio in it that I'll probably install in this truck.

Wow, I checked out this truck last year with my dad. It's from West Haven,CT. Very nice. I'm glad to see someone pick it up and restore it. The owner told me everyone in town knew who he was because only 2 guys in town had macho's and the other one was orange. He bought the truck at like 19 or 20, and he said the salesman told him he could pick up lots of chicks with this truck. ![]() |

Pick up date is tomorrow. It's to bad I wont see it for another week as I leave for Florida tomorrow(lol). We'll at least I'll have somthing to look forward to seeing when I get back home. I've managed to get a bunch of the used parts all detailed up and painted and cleaned. I sandblast the chrome off of the front and rear non step bumper and primed and painted trim black. The grill came out real nice by taking some really fine steel wool and compound to it. I then repainted the black areas. Painted the lower grill support out in trim black. The wheels are painted satin black with new 31" bfg rubber ko's. I also picked up a couple of new front fenders that I'll install when I get back. I plain on repainting the whole out side of the truck and tape off all the jambs and leave them in the factory paint. New carpet should be here soon as well. Cant wait to start making this truck look alittle better. |

What's the correct color 1978 yellow name. I think I remember it being called bright yellow? We ended up getting the wrong color for our plow truck. |
