Most of the 1980 and down year model trucks had the sorta big 3 point mirrors. My 79 has them, as seen here...

I had those exact 4 point mirrors on my big blue truck that TLRMAN has. No idea where they are now.

All of these were taken using my Canon 30-D DSLR and my 35-128 ultrasonic lens





This was about 11:00 P.M.



The next 2 were at Detroit Auto Body as the paint came from the gun before it was buffed out.





And here is what the inside looks like, it is really cushy inside with almost 2 inches of insulation and padding.

Darn Jim she sure does shine for ya!

I cleaned the snow off and washed mine today. It's been a long winter. Hopefully I will be wheeling again in a month or two !

Nice looking truck PJ, appears to be real clean. Do you have the original rings and caps with it still?

Thanks Bill.......The truck is pretty much back to original since I did a full restoration on it. Richie O got my caps......I didn't even know that these trucks came with rings as mine did not have them when I bought it new.

I think the LE trucks had rings.

PJ, I'd be interested in more pics of that rear bumper. Looks like it has the ramcharger style NON-step bumper. I'd love to see it
