Congrats that is a sweet find!  I love the plaid seats.  That is nice enough to keep just the way it is.  The only thing I would consider doing is painting the shell to match and freshening up the paint if it does not rub out. 

 

It is nice that it has the factory tac.  Does it have AC also?

Ya I hope just to freshen it up a little but leave original. No AC but I’m sourcing knee knocker style cabin components. I’m in FL - it’s a must.

AC parts anyone?

That cap is going in storage - it’s going to haul my motorcycle when needed ?

Great score Brian,

I had a 5-speed 79 King cab too w/AC from 1983 to around 2010. Original beige with all correct emblemd

California smog pumper.

It was barely a rust cancer survivor. 

I saw it running around South Gate a while back haha

Your interior is in fantastic condition! My door 79 KC plaid panels barely had a stripe or two of that faded material left hanging off them, and I had to replace them with the smaller stock blue panels.

 

And your blue plastic interior is rich in color, just like the paint. Do you still have the original blue shift knob? How about a pic?  Mine was roached beyond recognition like it was  in a fire and  replace it with a black one. I'm looking for another but it's been so lone I'm not sure about the size and shape. If anybody has a blue one PM me plz!

Anyone semi local to me want that white GT Spoiler camper shell?

$100 come and get it.

I need the bed to be open and accessible and I really don’t have room to store it...

MOAR PICS!

I "raked" it - lowered the front about 1.5"

Still rides decent and doesn't bottom out too much.
