Sorry, been a bit busy lately.  Here's the only pic I have on this computer.  I'm currently working on an engine swap (blew the old one) and re-wiring the truck.  The previous owner put in a security system with door locks and window controls that was embedded in everything and it's a total mess.  Wish me luck!

Maybe not the best pic--but that's a good lucking truck.  More and more I see trucks like yours and wish I had held out for one like that instead of my '83 with quad "Silverado front end".  Its a matter of taste but I think you've got one of the best looking body styles of any truck out there.

Thanks.  I had considered changing out the front clip for a mid 80's but decided I like the look of the current one.  She's a good truck, but needs quite a bit of work still.  I want to replace the entire interior, there's some bad rust in the bed floor, and the wiring is all jacked up.  There was an Ungo alarm/controller wired in and it's a mess.  She should be back on the road by the end of the month.
