It's a 1979 truck. We have had to replace 20 some odd year parts. We did have problems with the fuel pump, but that was because the old owner had put a Toyota fuel pump on it.
This truck has taken a lot of abuse or the years. It's a 4 by 4 and can go just about anywhere. The truck isn't running now, but was running when we parked it over a year ago. This truck is great. I'm sure we can get it running again. they just don't don't make trucks like this anymore.
I also have a 1979 LUV.
Have had to replace head gasket 2x's.
Right now I'm looking for a clutch/brake mounting bracket, welds are breaking after 12 odd years.
My first new vehicle 135,000 miles and still running good, even though my son crashed the front end. Still my favorite, even though I have 2 other Chevy's.
