I had the cassette already, but the truck had the 8 track version already in it. It is made by clairion, and they are tough to find. This radio was made in 79.....
it still plays nice and does the "good buddy-in" pretty good still....

working on it again...when I find the time between projects...
here is a picture of the seat....after getting it redone...
made some more progress, but it got dark and started to rain....

also picked up a nice parts truck....will be the donor for the emissions stuff and the factory a/c....it was a shame on the parts truck, it has 64k miles on it....

I worked on it all day long.....dang, I am sore...

more progress....
It now has ALL of the emissions that it is suppose to have, the correct 1980 harness is in it, and it will now sport FACTORY A/C!!
The decals should be here any day now, and my painted is going to start with the bed first...
I have to try to keep this low budget....so far I am into it for about 2k or so...and I need to paint it and get the wheels powder coated...and some other stuff....
