sokoji's 1979 Pickup Build-Up Thread

So, I think there is something wrong with me as I have let another one follow me home, even when its not that great of deal. So now I have another 1st gen this time a 79 and also a longbed. $700 and she is all mine.

The day I got it


Pulled out the bench and the carpet and all this mud and mice turds that were left. I was really suprised sense the window seal is leaking, that there is almost zero rust on the floors and no rustout.

Some really nasty carpet

With the grill from my other truck

Now this truck is going to be almost 100% stock compard to my other one.

Did some more work, gutted the enterior cab. Prepping it for some Herculiner. Figured out why the vent wasn't working, was filled with a big rats nest. At that point I decided I would start bathing everything in bleach.
