snapp_hunter Posted May 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 Put it on your truck and offer him yours? Honestly 150-200 for just a stock hood imo. Louvered hood cost more but so does adding louvres. I picked up an aftermarket hood for free as well so honestly 100 might be about right. Depends on how willing you are to sell thats what I was thinking maybe. my factory hood has one small half dollar sized dent in it, must be in need of a new hood haha. 175 sounds fairish.... where did u get it? that what i was gonna ask i think. i got it with my parts truck (read mistake) i bought before the one im repairing, came with alot of sheet metal, including some a NoS hood, door, and fender.

snapp_hunter Posted May 6, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2016 so I got the headlight wiring separated from the 79 harness. i just have to get eh correct round style pin connectors, crimp them onto the wires and get them into the plugs. then I need to connect them to the ground wire pack, and it should be finished. then I need to figure out what to do about the ignition system. after that I should be good to go! anyone have any knowledge of wiring an ignition system?

snapp_hunter Posted August 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2016 not dead, just busy. truck is still with me. just got the title to the parts truck yesterday so i can finally get that gone now that everything is stripped off of it. still haven't done the wiring, still haven't patched the floors. its now in its rightful place in the garage though. and yeah i posted it on CL to see if any offers come up. my daily got totaled in july and had to buy another car so funds are low. if someone came with an offer I'd let it go. only posted it because of my wifes suggestion. I don't want to get rid of it, we'll bounce back financially, and the truck can sit around my place :) 1 Quote Link to comment

mcordero8 Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 Looks like someone needs a new wife. Just kidding, but hopefully your situation gets better and you won't lose her. Your second truck seems like it has a good foundation. Good luck. Quote Link to comment
bilzbobaggins Posted August 14, 2016 Report Share Posted August 14, 2016 If you are trying to pacify the wife and YOU don't want to get rid of it, raise your price in your ad so no right minded person will try buy it. Good luck Quote Link to comment
snapp_hunter Posted September 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2016 so since I got it in my garage, i actually managed to do something to it. the truck had been in a minor fender bender, and it had broken the grille in several places, bent the tar out of the bumper, and broken the chin valence. luckily i had replacements for all of these, except my replacement grille I had is a late model style for the 79 parts truck. oh well, its a place holder in the meantime. one of the bumper brackets was bent too so the bumper isn't sitting quite right, will have to get the brackets off the parts truck this weekend. this amount of work took me literally 4 weeks to complete, thats how little time ive had to work on it, and thats my reasoning for why i haven't gotten to the big stuff that needs to be done. any ways, some pics for you guys 1 Quote Link to comment
