Still in loose hands, but getting prettier.
Hey all-
While I deployed this last year, my father painted the truck.
Here is a link to pics:

After counting my vehicles on hand (4) and comparing that to my drivers available (2), I have again talked myself into testing the waters on a sale.
5000 would move it. Still open to trades and cash.
It has just over 102K on it now, and runs pretty well. Very clean underneath.
The good: New paint, although it ain't the prettiest paint job around.
The bad: 1978 bed, looks goofy with the external fuel filler openings. Through rust in bed floor, small hole near tailgate.
*bonus tech*
Mike's death wobble fix: Replace the forward drag link tie-rod end. There is a pic of my 10 year old tightening the castellated nut on the newly installed part in the previous link.
The old TRE looked pretty good until the wheel was turned to the limit left or right, then it had noticeable slop. Didn't notice it until I had the wheel off and the front end up in the air.
We launched on a 750 mile road trip several days later, no problems.
Please contact me with questions or comments.
