1983 First Gen
Rebuilt motor -- 500 miles on it
PO cut and tied the seat belt on the drivers side to only go across the waist... why? I don't know.
Terribly uncomfortable "racing seats"
Pictures of my new first gen before I have started any work on it.

pics are showing up now, at least for me.
it never ceases to amaze me to see what people have done to trucks...diamond plate headliner...wow..
of course a few people have wondered WTF i did a few times too
you have a project on your hands
you should take the truck into your local police department, looks like a few bodily fluids might show up under one of their cool flashlights...

Welcome to Yotatech.
It's amazing what some of the PO's do to these trucks. I've had three 83's, on one of them they attempted to install a sunroof, cut the hole the wrong size so all 4 corners leaked and then attempted to bondo over the entire mess, glass and all, lol. Wow 37 gallons, I bet you can really put some miles on it between fuel ups! You're making some good progress, keep up the good work!
