Hello All

Hey everyone. I just wanted to say hello. I just recently bought a '73 pig. Dont know if the old owner was on here or not so if this vehicle looks familar I'm sorry. I live in southern california but will be moving back up to oregon in january. A list of things that have been done to it are: 350 swap, electric fan, spring over, power steering, 35" tires (they are pro comp x terrains...not my choice) and 4 wheel disk breaks, along with little stuff like shocks, winch, cd player etc... lots of work still to do on it. Want to start with the body. Its got some rust that needs to be taken care of but nothing too terrible. Not a huge fan of the school bus yellow so she will be getting a nice paintjob in the near future hopefully. anyway just wanted to say hi to everyone. here are a couple pics.

The little bumper in back is big in so many ways....

However, the windows, tail lamps, and turnsignals suggest the Pig isn't a '73, maybe 78? Unless the frame's been swapped....

Oh yeah, Welcome to 'Mud!

SWEET PIG !. Defintily not a '73, At least bodywise. Bump on the hood came from a 2f equiped truck, late ''74 and newer, and front doors are also later model like our '78 has (rounded front corners). Are you going back with the original color scheme ? Color code is under the hood, passenger side. Post up the 3 number color code.

Oh yeah, welcome to mud
