Come buy mine, I'm an hour from KCKeep your eyes out for a decent mid to late 70's short bed around the area. I've decided that I'm going to drive a nice older truck around in retirement. Something not complicated by modern technology and can haul a sofa if needed.
Congrats to the original poster on his "new" truck.
Nice truck!!
Thanks, I hate to sell it, but ran out of room so something has to go. It's a slant 6 w/ 833 od, perfect cruising truck.Nice truck!!
I've seen it and it's a very nice truck. A little too nice for my budget. Thanks!

That six out and laying on shop floor yet![]()
No. I’m currently in Vegas and I just got back from San Jose and I went there shortly after I drove to Phoenix and back. I feel like I’ve covered a million miles this year. I ordered all the stuff to lower it, van control arms and an axle flip kit. And all of the bayonet fixtures so the dash lights will work. When I get back I’ll have plenty of stuff to do on it. But the slant can stay for now.That six out and laying on shop floor yet![]()

What makes us great is we all like different things. It keeps the world from getting boring. I like lowered D100s. Maybe you don’t and that’s cool too.Don't get why you would want to lower it? They have a nice stance from the factory.
Easy to get into and out of at factory height.

So if you’re this guy, the guy who buys the wrong fixtures and LED lights and notices that they don’t fit and says “lemme grab the silicone, that’ll hold ‘em in”, STOP IT! I’m tired of unfucking cars you’ve worked on. Thanks rant over.
I’m going to change my screen name to “the quintessential unfucker”.But you’re so good at unfucking them buddy.
Nice work, and it's very helpful when the part numbers are shown like you did in this picture for those in the months/years to come will reference this project.View attachment 1716337508View attachment 1716337507
I bought all new bayonet fixtures from rock auto and a pack of 194 bulbs from Napa. Scraped all the silicone off and cleaned the ribbons where the lights mount and got everything assembled correctly. Tonight the dash will go back together.
It took me a bit to find the correct ones so I wanted to post the number for others as well as myself. Oh and FYI I need 8 total and ended up with 8, 2 packs. Rock auto wasn’t specific. So I have 8 extras.Nice work, and it's very helpful when the part numbers are shown like you did in this picture for those in the months/years to come will reference this project.
Not sure I could make myself cut that dash. Not many around that still have the radio block off plate.That spot in the dash is just begging for a factory CB radio. East bown and down!

Guess you won't be talking to Burt Reynolds then.
