wonder if the 79 orange short bed is still around and for sale????

I think I saw an add recently where he was trying to sell the other truck and mentioned the 79 as a parts truck. After seeing the most recent pictures of it, with hood and other parts already robbed, and the fact that the transmission was shot, I felt it was more than I was able to tackle. If the truck had still appeared as it did in the first picture he posted on Craigslist, (and there were no transmission problems) I'd have bought it in a heartbeat at twice the price. I even put a brand new heavy duty trailer hitch on the '91 and had planned the trip with a borrowed trailer. Just hoping if I hold out, that right truck at the right price will finally be had.

yup, hear that, that was kind of the conversation I had with him too. it really wouldn't have been too bad to bring back, paint a hood flat black and add decals to hood, buy a bumper and paint it black....the harder thing would have been the tailgate decals and a gate....but I think it was worth the 800 he wanted for it, sour trans or not...

it is in TN, and tranny is bad in it. The guy who has it robbed some of the body parts to make a crew cab, but the majority of it is still there. I think it was sale in about the 1000 dollar price range....was an older craigs ad, but I don't have the contact info anymore, but if I find it, I will send it your way....
