ok, sorry didn't think about pics!  here is a pic of the 79 in the garage when we first got it back in june. 



It didn't run because the started didn't engage, just spun.  We took the starter in and they said it was for a 22R!!! THE DUDE SOLD IT TO US FOR $200 BECAUSE IT DIDN'T RUN!! AND ALL IT NEEDED WAS A STARTER!!  runs good now.  As we started pulling it apart, we found manything wrong with it.  The floor boards have some rust holes, and the dash was in VERY bad shape.  We mounted some new seats, and my girlfriend (owner) pulled the dash apart.  The truck came with a spider gear replace ment type locker, and was open up front, so we deceied to get a used detroit LSD. While installing that, I found that the entire front axle needed new bearings, and in the prosses learned about birfs...  now the front is almost back togather, but we need rotors for the vented swap, and we have to rebuild the wheel cylinders.  I have no pics of mine as of right now, but will work on that!
