Linex interior. 5.29 gears with 35's On 15" simulated beadlock wheels. 4" supsension lift with 2" body lift. I have a w56 that Is going in asap along with power steering. I know the 80's called and they want the roll bar back

hey, it's an 80s truck, it belongs on it!

lookin good, looks like it could drop a couple inches of lift -- almost too tall! i'd highly recommend the crossover steering conversion though!

Jason, that is one fine looking truck. If I were you, I'd start taking really good care of it and buy a 90 or so pickup to go wheeling. Keep the '80 for what it is...a collectors item.

and if you ever wanna sell it just let me know... i'll fly out there and tow it home.

But like Kyle_22r said, drop it a couple inches (the body lift NEEDS to go!). Nice rig.
