okay so my bro in-law (ROOKIE) has been on me for a bit to get this started up. So progress is as follows. '

power wash

stripped interior

dropped bumper.

got a new tail gate...yes BRAND NEW NEVER USED 76 tail for 25 bucks on criagslist. I'll show picts. He took it off his truck when it was new for a camper sodl the truck and had the tail sitting in his garage all these years. it's hot yall

I had a set of NEW wheels and tires for a 70 chev short bed I had and I traded them in for a set of NEW rims for my 77 toyota shortbed and wide whites! straight a acorss trade. and no they are not pictured yet they had to be specail ordered but as soon as they come in I'll post.

dipped gas tank so it's now sealed up aready to roll.

 

and got rid of those nasty side mirrors.

 

wheels just arrived for my toy truck.



I'm probably not gonna use moon caps, I'm considering bullet derby style caps.

Coker american classic tires. 1.5 ww

 

bullet derby style caps would be bitchin and ripping of the cream and goin with the og red would be sick.

 

I am jealous...

 

"That would be cool...if it was a foot lower"

lol. Seriously nice rig man. Maybe I'll bring my 78 by on my next trip from Seattle to Vegas. Sometime this month probably. Or early next month.

 

it's gonna be gloss black when I'm done.

 

Hey What's up too cold to work on this here truck???

 

yeah cold as hell! so they got two 77's in the junkyard. they had perfect side fenders and a grill for my truck, I was out there...with Pnemonia!!! freezing and got the parts. I gotta go back and get the rear window and i want the bumper too. I damn near thought I was gonna die out there. Fever and all I still got an eye on the prize. My brother is moving up here by me this weekend so he says he'll help do the body work. I jsut gotta get through finals this week and the Holy DAZE....I'll be back with picts probably this week.

 

just thought i would post this pic and remind you to get some work done on your truck!

 

a NEW tailagate bought for 25 bucks. Never used off a 76. removed in 76 and stored in the old guys garage.

thats cool man, will have to paint ur truck to match now lol

 

my bro in law says I need to but....I'm probably gonna paint it black like the rest of the truck. I might get shot for doing it though.

 

and besides my truck is a shorty not a long bed. My bro-in law says it should be hanging on my garage wall.

I'm kinda torn as to what to do. It's almost too perfect.

 

i say hang it up

 

thats just a sticker though. lol. id say paint the truck yellow to match it.

 

Hang it On The Wall!

 

yup, go the yellow!

 

Put that on the truck. If you want one to hang on the wall, you can have my old gate off the 79.

Okay enough bs'ing, lets get to the pics of that gate on the truck.

 

The thing should be in a museum or on my wall it really is to perfect to paint...
