Emma-Jayne: My '79 SWB
Bought this truck to build a twin to my stepside. Have a quest to own four trucks that are all the same color. Just missing a K-5 and a dually now.
She had a new 350 Target motor just installed about 1500 miles prior to purchase and has a 700r4 that has 5k miles on it. Stock suspension, started out with saddle interior and some ugly tan wheels.
Plans:
-Fix leaks (already completed trans pan and kick down cable leaks).
-Get rid of rust *In process.
-New moldings
-Color match to my stepside Audrey
-Give her Audreys original old Mandarin interior with some fresh dye and touch ups
-Install the original factory tach cluster from Audrey
-Install Audrey's 12 bolt 342 shortened rear end with new moser axles.
-Lower with ????? (still deciding)
-Run the American Racing Rally's I have for time being.
-Smoothed and painted bumpers (brushed nickel look).
-Trim painted in brushed nickel look.
