My "new" 79
Hey guys. Its a 79' compete with a 22r/20r hybrid. 4 speed(for now). I bought it 2 months ago for $350. No rust SoCal special. Woo hoo. Didn't run, but a few wiring demons fixed and a new battery got it going decent.
The day I brought it home.
Pulled the bed to clean it up...
Ive decided to not to the green anymore...Im thinking the blue/white SR5 look.
Pulled the engine (bad leak) cleaned up, and hopefully going back in this weekend.

Great deal – and you got to work on it quick! I've been wanting to pull my engine and clean it up/rebuild it for 6 months.

Its a 22r block with a 20r head. The 20R head had a better flow. If its worth it, I really can't say because it came with it like that. I would assume that is so many people do it, it must be.
