heres a shot taken back in 94 The truck is off to the side of my 65 coronet,I bought the truck from my grandfathers friend mike in 94 ,sold it back to him in 97 & then when he passed away in 03 I got the truck back , in 00 Mike had decided to restore the truck , frame was rotted by the gas tank, bed had a been hit on the passenger side, I had installed a US body glass frontend on the truck in 96 ,so right now the truck is all apart ,I'm up in the air about the frame , not sure if i should piece it together or just replace the whole thing,at the point only the cab & driveline will be Orginal, truck had 175k on it in 00 ,been beat on its whole life ran low 14s high 13s most of the time(ran @Acto & the old Magiure airforce base track)truck was a tagalong on my grandfathers 77 fleet order from Dodge ,this truck & 1 other are the only ones left from that set of trucks, its a a neat piece thats been in my life off& on since 77.

Good looking shop....I love the picket fence

Don't you guys go thinking the light blue 78 440 sold on ebay.

First the cat with the high bid retracted then some other joker came along and met reserve.

The second joker has not yet made contact nor answered any emails!

gotta love it... remember they entered into a contract...

what was the final bid????

$6500 was the final, and I think that would be a bargin for them.

Hope all works out for you....Thats a nice looking truck at a fair price.

nice. you otta post some more pictures of the blue machine....

boy,,,e-bay was brutal,,,tough crowd,,,,felt sorry for the truck so I drove it to work today,,,crappy weather so I backed it in to the shop,,,,but wasnt gettn any work done cause I kept starin at it,,,I really think those side rails make it look beefier than a normal stepside,,,someone needs to give it a good home,,,or I might end up buildin' a drag strip truck out of it ,,,woohoo

Yeah, I know what you mean Smokn.

I didn't even tell you guys about the jerk who messaged me through ebay only to tell me my wheels looked ugly!

yeah,,,one guy sends me a question,,it says,,,"when you're done bidding on your own truck,,,let me know what you'll take for it",,,yeah right buddy
