Holy crap, those wheels have a lot of dish!! Nice! I'm right up the road from you (Well kind of) in Salisbury, MD. Let me know if you ever head up this way or towards Ocean City and we'll meet up. I'm hoping to have my 83 done by the spring

 

Thanks. I'm putting a clear coat on it tomorrow to protect it. Every time I don't clear coat after rattle can, it tends to fade pretty quick.

 

Yeah they are 15x12 with 4" back spacing. 35" mud rovers up front and currently 33" thornbirds on the back. Waiting for a good price 2 more 35s. I have family in Dover,PA so I go by Maryland all the time. We used to go to Ocean City 2 or 3 times a summer for vacation when I was younger. Nothin' beats Ocean City Boardwalk fries with Vinegar. Hit me up if you're ever down here in Hampton Roads. I'm about 45 minutes from the North Carolina border.

 

Wish I could get this thing up from Australia. $2k with only 650, 000 km on the clock

Mine now! 83 bone stock

 

Here she is, out rolling again boys. I'm pretty proud of her. Still a LOT to do, but she's roadworthy again.

 

Cool find, more pics! Lol

Nice! She's looking sexayyy!

 

Gorgeous! I really like that blue..

 

Thanks, I've always enjoyed that blue too. It was popular back then, but don't see it anymore.

 

My 81. Regearing to 4.88's shortly. Probably locking the front as well. Currently looking for a nice Heating Control Finish Panel in woodgrain if anyone knows where to find one. Also recarpeting - will probably go with indoor/outdoor carpet from Home Depot as I have seen others do with good results. But will consider any other suggestions that people have had success with for flooring.

 

Good looking truck...

 

Thank you. She is photogenic... but up close she shows the character of most trucks this age.

 

She is a hottie.

 

I love her

 

As well you should!
Nice, love the visor.

 

Just purchased first toy to build/resto. 1983 4x4 sr5 reg cab, short bed. 90,000 original, one owner, untouched, completely stock. Fresh out of deltona back yard. trying to upload pics but not working

 

Pics?? And check the frame real good, mostly around the front hangers for the rear end..

 

it has heavy surface rust on frame and running gear. not unsaveable but not entirely ireversable. back half has it worst off would need cutting and replacement to be salvageable. but pretty solid start. if kept full chassis would be best option for long term or swap for resto purpose's. bed shot non salvageable but purchased cali bed for an 82 sr5 (super lucky) prepping to strip n shoot

 

Sweet! Lrn ^^^ Nice find. Tell us more about it! You keeping it the way it is?
