OOps little late joining this conversation (was busy in Atlanta buying
another '79 1500 from Shane Sizemore)
The black bumpers look nice if they are done right, if they haven't been
touched in 20 years they can get pretty scary. (kinda of like a rusted
chrome bumper would look) I prefer the column instruments steering wheel,
and electric fan. Oh did ya'll mention emissions? Are those supposed to be
on a '79 ;^)?
