Yea this guy has had this truck in the same condition for the longest time. I remember seeing the black truck when my truck was stock....that was a long ass time ago!
He said he painted the truck back in the late 70's or early 80's and it still looks good.

The guy that owns the black truck said he has some of the first dropped beams ever made, he said that the company doesn't exist any more.

That green one is sweet!! I like what he did to the hood.

It sure looks like the same truck. I bought it from a guy in Kansas a couple of years ago who posted it here in the classifieds. He only had a few post so i don't think he was a "regular". It He put a 5.0 w/ aluminum heads, E303 cam, and AOD w/ stall and shift kit, and trac-loc w/ 3.50's. It has huge sway bars front and rear and handles like a car. I added the trim, replaced the steering wheel, re-covered the seat, added stereo, swapped carbs, and relocated the fuel tank.

I've had a few bumps w/ healthy big blocks but this truck is by far the most responsive and maybe even a tad quicker and is super fun to drive. She get's lots of compliments.
