    Hey everyone, I'm Ryan. Happy to say I found myself a sweet 78.

    It all started of with the opportunity to buy a super clean and well maintained local 76. I jumped the gun on financing and the seller ended up backing out. With 5k now sitting in the bank, I figured I might as well see what I can find.

    After a week of searching craigslist ads in neighboring states, and getting blown off by 2 other sellers, I finally put my impulse buy money to use. I found this 78 with custom paint and a nice interior listed in Fontana, CA. I spent 5 days getting info and pictures before we made a deal. I had a family member secure the truck on 3/14 and am currently working out how to get it back to colorado.

    Not too crazy about the paint but looks like it was a good buy.

    I picked it up for $3800. I was mainly after a rust free body and this seemed like a great find. Paint and body is in decent shape for now until I am ready to repaint.
