Good Score Dave!
The two tone paint job gives it character. . . for now. I am completely on board with driving and enjoying this one while you work on the other.
Do not have too much fun though and neglect that stunning example of potential 40 perfection in the garage -- whatever happens do not remove a single part from the "new" truck and leave it off overnight -- you might not be able to hold back and could soon have two half assembled 40s!

When were those goofy looking defrost tubes, attached to both ends of the dash, added? I've seen them on '78s.

Very nice! Lucky man!
It's times like these I realize I'll never have one of those.
All I've ever seen is overpriced, bodged together crap.
Am glad you got a nice series 40! You look like the guy to take care of it like it deserves.

You don't know how close you are! He's already daydreaming about pulling the top off for the summer.
Dave, I might take a couple of days camping at the end of next week. Wanna take that truck out?

You are a lucky guy Dave-huge score! Wish mine was that nice when I found it-would have been a few more years of driving I would have had instead of wrenching,........................

Good body metal is like finding gold.

Agree it's a great find. But don't know if it was a good score without knowing what he paid

It was more than $1.00 and less than $50,000.00 to be exact.

Dave, you're being accurate, but imprecise!

I just wanted to share a few more treasures that came with it. 
The ironies of life: a bunch of $OR parts in a Mark's Off Road tool bag!
