B1800 Pickup

[fleeterhousen]

hey everyone! Brand new to the forum... I just bought a pretty complete 78 b1800 with the intentions of restoring. it currently runs, but not too great. I just ordered a weber carb, and probably need to do a top end overhaul. other than that, not too much wrong with the truck. driver side floor has rust all the way thru about the size of a silver dollar , but that's the about the extent of the rust issue.

I only paid $650 for it. now, you guys tell me if I'm totaly ignorant or if I got a good deal.

I'm also going to need a lot of help in finding parts for this thing, so leads to web sites, or other hookups would be much appreciated.

I will post pics soon. btw- it's the orange long bed.

ok, here are a few of the outside pics. the guy who owned it before me took a sharpie to the "mazda" on the tailgate. removing that was the first thing I did, so.. now it's the stock white under the orange. it has vinyl pinstriping down both sides and a "royal galleon" on both sides near the back of the bed. I haven't decided if I'm going to take that off, or leave it.
