I think you got a good deal! Truck looks to be in nice shape for a '79. T-case should be an NP203, hurst shifter and positions called "Hi-loc" and "Lo-loc".

Honestly I'd wheel it as is, get some seat time and have some fun. Upgrade whatever you break. Too many guys go into hardcore build mode too quickly...hell I've done it to myself. Wheeling it will also show you where the best place to spend your money will be.

no body lift

I would 86 the 2" body lift and maybe go with the 1" body lift, switch it over to a six spring lift and the 35's will fit good. I think body lifts are more of a pain than there worth and dont like the way they look either. Just my .02, but it is a nice truck and it looks like you got a good deal....

Ditto tRustyK5. Looks good for the year......so go out and get some tin damage!

Like he says, get some seat time but mind where you go with those tires!
