Title: ...Picked up ANOTHER 3+3
Post by: 79k30guy on September 19, 2010, 05:39:39 pm

Found this jewel on CL 6 months ago, and my brother negotated all that time until we just now picked it up.  I guess we're finally learning some patience with these things..   saves us money..   ;D
76, k20,  350, TH400, NP203  guy had a big trailer so its got air bags in the rear,  trucks pretty clean all around.  oh..  and AC blows Ice cold! Paint is the orginal color of Our Dads Rig, which is going to be brought back to that soon...

That thing is great.
I just made a comment on another post how you guys in the dry climates have access to some nice rust free trucks.
Around here in Mass I've never personally seen a 3/4 ton crew cab. I thought they were all 1 tons until I found this site. I'm sure you have plans to put a Dana 60 in it real soon.
Nice score.

Yep.  Dana 60 is planned, but maybe not really soon.  as we all know, they're not easy or cheap to aquire..

Why not just keep it stock? I bet that has been working okay for the last 34 years...

You guys and you're never ending great finds!!! You make me so mad!  >:( haha....very cool truck, man!! I'm insanely jealous right now :) My ultimate truck would be a '73-80 3+3 with the interior and drivetrain from an 06 or newer Denali Crew cab :) IMO, that'd bring together the best of both worlds. :)

That's the same as mine! (well almost)

I've been looking for a while for someone who had the original paint scheme as mine's in primer and I couldn't remember where the white/orange split  :D I've got a few pics of mine early stages but couldn't see the front fender.

cheers for the help even if it was unknowingly  ;D
