Cool lil workhorse you got there, Funcrazy! Great years, 79-83! Gonna paint it?

 

thanks a lot ! Pretty sweet 2wd
Rattle can gloss black then more gloss

 

Nice! I saw an 80 the other day, a bit slammed with a TBI 305 V8 in it, lol.... IT WAS SICK! It was, in fact, BLACK, with outlaw2's... VERY nice truck, VERY fast, too! lol.

 

Well I've had these pictures for over a year (they were right after my truck's first bath after I brought it home) so I guess I'll post them. '81 short bed, has a warn winch under the cover.

 

Very Nice, Enigma!

Hey, ders a kitty trying to commit suicide by Tire in that first pic!

 

If I did this right there is a picture lol kinda new on this sight

 

EnigmaT120. That's a super clean 1st Gen.Is that original paint. and can we get some interior pictures.

 

Thanks! Yeah, the cat was inspecting the clean up job I guess.

It's the original paint as far as I know. It's faded off of the top of the cab (barely visible in one picture) and it just looks like primer under it. It looked really bad when I drove it home. I think it had been parked a few years under some trees and had that black mould stuff on it, but I was able to scrub it clean without removing paint.

Interior? I can try to get some pictures. I already complained in a different thread about the hack job to get a Sony Xplode into the radio spot. At least the radio plays and the cd player works. And that dash! I don't know what to do about that rotted out cracked thing. Just the top part.

 

Here are pics of mine. First one bought it when I was 14 and brought it back from the dead and made it what it was sold it last year and still regret it... 1979 4x4 4" pro comp lift 31/10.5/15 maxxis bighorns etc.

Then there is my new one 1980 same wheels and tires off the 79 (kept them) work in progress. If you want I have a link for the build thread for the 80 in my signature.

 

Washed the ol' longbed last night, the green really pops now in the direct sun.
It never looks as tall in pictures as it actually is.. 6" inch lift and bald as hell 36"s.

Was in the process of looking for a used tranny for my 89 pickup and came across this mess . Been looking into building a wheeler for a while and figured this was perfect .
Picked it up for 800 bucks came with two 22r's

how she sat when i found her





Brought her home



Completley rebuilt the 22r



And now her is how she sits .

 

Awesome job!

 

those look like 15x7 Wagon wheels.
Tires aren't BFG-look like PNW Les Schwab Dean specials..

Nice truck what wheels are those ? Are they yota oem?

 

Honestly I don't know what kind of wheels they are. They came with the black truck when I bought it and really liked the way they looked, so I kept them. I've heard them be called "turbos" or "turbines" but I don't exactly know
