The '79 Dodge I bought last year exceeded expectations from an originality, completeness, and lack of rust standpoint. I needs a little tuning, but beyond that was well taken care of and the PO had a lot of recent receipts getting maintenance completed at a shop.

The paint is absolutely shot and this truck really deserves a full repaint but I don't see that happening with me any time soon. I like the original color so I decided to get the rims blasted and then painted them in the factory metallic color and will run them with dog dishes I found online.

My barn that I store this truck in is about 35 minutes from where I live. Dodge used at least 3 metallic blue colors in '79. I thought I knew the paint code so ordered up the paint I needed, painted the rims, got some new 32's installed and hauled the tires out to the barn this afternoon as I was swapping out trucks. I got the paint code wrong....ugh. Just ordered more paint tonight.
