[nonstop]

There are a lot of good points on there. I have a few questions. What is 1977 on it? The cab and bed are later, as is the drivetrain. Is he saying it’s a 1977?

Next, it sounds like a lot of negative with the truck. I know he gave it to you, but would it be a higher and more moral road to give it back? How would it make you feel, and what would it do for relations with the rest of the family?

The truck looks good stock. Careful not to fall down a rabbit hole of modifications. Mine was lifted 6 inches on 36s. Looked good. The older I got, the more of a pain it was to load, unload, and get in and out of. It now sports a 4 inch lift on 35s. Looks like the second photo with the 4 inch lift, but in black. Smaller still would be nice, but then I would need to re ratio the axles, get smaller tires, etc. Easy to get carried away, but then you risk losing the function of a truck as a truck.
