Hi all,
First off, I really appreciate all the info and help on this site. Thank You!!!
I've been wanting one of these for about 3 years, and earlier this year I finally got one.
Title says 1979, it was an Air force truck, power steering, heater, ether kit, drop side, hard top, and there are 2 hydrovacs. The truck shows 6500mi and 336hrs.
I've put new 2 batterys in, replaced a brake light switch, new headlight switch, headlight, bled brakes with new dot 5.
I sanded and sprayed with DuPont 222S adhesion promoter, then painted with Gillespie Coatings 595-34079-11 forest green.
Right now I'm waiting on a Kats 1500 watt tank style heater, but while I was waiting I decided to run the 5/8 lines, the threaded block plug behind the solenoid turned out to be a real bugger.
The truck drives excellent and is a blast to drive, and my wife and son absolutely love the truck.
Thanks All!
First 2 are before paint, next 3 are after paint.
