well i figured id start one of these finally. this is just a quick bit of info.

78 longbed - RN28
paint is all original inside and out, except the doors and fenders had been repainted for some reason. they seem solid though, it probably got keyed or something.
20R with 107k miles. i got it at 81k. im the 3rd owner. original had it til about 2-1/2 ago. 5 speed, but its not an SR5. ive already learned that much.
ive replaced damn near everything; wheel bearings, brakes, brake master/booster, clutch, clutch slave, full exhaust, ported non-egr intake, new head this weekend, weber, no emissions stuff left, swapped a few interior parts, ect.

heres a few pictures. i have a project thats pretty old school style but im sure theres a few people on here like shoNuff and cinNAMmon who will love it. modifying a rodeo lower valance onto the front.

Nice looking truck! That Ramcharger is cool too, never seen that before

What are the chrome wheels, they look kinda cool. Mazda?

standardbyker88 · 08-14-2009, 01:02 AM

Thanks. The rc has a 70s hood and bumper and early 80s grille. Few shaved items. It's going alot lower in a couple weeks. They weren't common in 2wd.

The chrome yota wheels are ford probe gt's. I took them off when I blew a tire. Have the steelies back on.

have to admit, ur truck is nice for a longbed, like it a lot. Interior pics?

S13minus1 · 08-14-2009, 01:27 AM

Damn, if its anything like my old cars, blowing a tire has gotta suck

Can't wait to see more updates, keep up the good work!

Well I was going 80ish. And it was the driver front tire. Luckily there was a little space between the control and the ground. A little. LOL. And I didn't have a spare with me. It was an interesting night.

And ill have a interior pics up. Other than chrome inner handles, a new shifter arm/knob, grant-ish wheel and a tire chains box for a console it's stock inside. LOL. I was building a console but my big ass camera bag fits between the seats perfect so I dunno if I will.

standardbyker88 · 08-14-2009, 09:04 AM

interior shots. ive changed the interior handles, wheel, shifter, added a camera bag in front of the console, and speakers since these. pretty much stock.

Man that's a sweet looking 78!

Those interior shots make me jealous! I really need to get mine cleaned up! Hopefully, while I am on paternity leave next week, I'll get to work on my truck.

Love what you're doing with it!

super cool seats and I dig the rubber mat aswell
Is that an A/C unit?
Is that a 4x4 shifter? I love the height it sits at looks comfy for shifting
