I picked up this 78 stepside to use as a plow / yard truck for 800.00 and I was able to drive it home for that price. Now that I have had it for a while it has grown on me to the point that I want to bring it back from the almost dead and use it for a sometime DD or back up vehicle along with the yard and plowing duties.

hopefully my search foo will be good enough to keep from asking the redundant questions that have been answered a million times.

Oh and here are a couple of pictures. Everyone likes pictures right? :hahano:

Nice looking truck- especially for the price.

And it never hurts to ask about things- true there is a search feature and can find some info, but someone might have just done whatever you are asking about and it is still fresh in their mind.

I drove my '77 for 4 years or so before getting bit by the "mod bug". This forum has helped out a ton- both in me asking questions and searching.

Welcome, from Eastern Montana.
Nice pickup, this forum has a way of changing a persons mind, into doing way more than the original plans was when the vehicle in question was first purchased. :grd::happy175:

Howdy! I don't have a fancy postcard to give you like the other fellas, I hope I didn't disappoint you, lol.

In your pics, your truck looks pretty solid too!

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

I know how the project creep can set in. But for now I want to be able to drive this one as opposed to having it become a trailer queen.
