Looks pretty good for $850.
Can you touch the radiator? 118* seems low. How does the coolant look? I would do a thermostat. Cheap and could probably use one anyway. Possibly a bad sender??

Sick! I miss my 81 I should have never sold it... Watch for a 86-95 ifs front locker and throw it in the rear. Mine had a lock right and it worked great.

Pretty clean for the price well worth it. Have fun with it, I'd also replace that rad cap.

Something atleast with a pressure release as long as you have a recovery bottle.

you could if you swapped to an 8" rear. you'd have to do a spring over conversions on your truck, though.
