a new member of my family

Gettin it from my uncle monday. Has a warn 8k lb, Rear disk conversion, Locking hubs and probably some other stuff I haven't discovered yet. And the best part, Under the hood there's a vortec v6 4.3 with 7k miles on it. It has MSD ignition, an edelbrock carb, be cool radiator with electric fan. not sure of the cfm of the carb yet. I have a whole folder of receipts to go through to see what was done with it. He bought it in stock condition with 200k miles on it and had it all fixed up to be his ranch buggy. Needless to say, it didn't get driven much.
Ill post some better pics soon. It has one small problem though. When you let off the clutch to go the whole body lurches and twists to the right from drive line torque. But the wheels stay straight. I haven't had a spotter look but i suspect the drop panhard mount is loose.
I know this is the 3rd gen forum.

Pretty sweet...is that a modified All-pro bumper??

Maybe it has a rear locker?? That would explain the lurching you are describing.

i'm not sure about the bumper. About the lurching, My 98 has a locker and it doesn't lurch. I don't see why this 90 would. The lurch is a sideways twisting motion that points the front of the vehicle slightly to the right.

not sure if its a toyota or chevy, but it's a 5spd. I'll slide under there this weekend and poke around for a while.
wanna hear something funny fellas? It's gonna be my wife's daily driver. But that's ok, she usually walks less than 500 yards to work every day anyway.
