Post Got rid of the 83 and snagged this one >>>

They say a picture is worth 1000 words, so here are a few >





I love the squared off 80s trucks but right away I had a huge connection with this one. I'm going to pick it apart some to let you know the flaws, but over all it's pretty cool. First off, it's rust free (basically) and who knows how many miles is on it?? the speedometer can roll over on these trucks so many times and it's not always documented well, but it's pretty tight as far as body panel fit. I know the body was pulled off and all new neoprene mounts were install and new windshield rubber too. The engine has got to be an 80s era because the dip stick is on the pass side. I just have to figure out if it's a 350 or a 305. I probably should have figured that out before I bought it. It's supposed to be a 350. I sounds like a 350. Gas gauge is busted. The other thing is the brakes are terrible... they are drum and non power. I'd like to get some factory rallys for it and find a factory bench seat (it doesn't have the original) Other than that, everything is peachy! Waddaya think?

Anyway, I'm going to edit and add some better pictures probably this week.
