Cosmetically this truck is in fantastic condition with a very solid original body, panels, trim.The truck has the original #81 Cordova Brown Solid with the execption of the hood which had been respayed a few decades ago and shows signs of peeling in spots otherwise its a very original truck with no sign of any previous collison repair and maintains an original look that is unmistakingly 1979. IT is is not at all perfect or pristine as it has a few bumps and bruises hear and there but keep in mind it was built 40 years ago. There are a few dings most noticeably drivers front fender and passenger rear fender otherwise this is a very straight and solid truck. The windshield has some crackes, and the passenger window crank needes to be replaced. All the chrome bumpers, grille and trim are original and in great shape with no pitting just a few minor imperfections.The truck has been lifted with Rancho Shocks the steel wheels with hub caps, combined with brand new oversized 35x12.5x15 Falken Off road Mud terrains mounted on stock 15/8 GM steel wheels with factory GMC hub caps this truck has a a good porportioned look to it.

The truck has the most powerful 5.7 Litre 350V8 option offered by General Motors for the 1/2 tons in 1979. The transmission is the Muncie SM465 which is a very heavy duty, 4speed-manual transmission which has a very low "Granny" first gear with a 6.55:1 ratio, second is 3:58:1, 3rd is 1.70:1 and fourth is 1.00:1 with reverse being 6:09:1. The tranmission shifts smoothly in all gears including reverse and was told the SM465 features dual provisions for power take-offs it has a 12 bolt in the rear and a DANA 44 in the front.The brakes work as they should. All the lights are functional as well .The truck was ordered with factory AC but is non/operational and does not blow cold however the fans all work.
