Nice truck! looks like its in great shape. Curious though. What year was the white truck? And also what made you decide to replace it with the 83? Im not saying its a bad choice Im ALL for it but im just curious if it was because you wanted the older model or just cause there was something wrong with the other one. Just asking because the white truck also looks to be in really good shape

i love the white truck, its a daily driver, i want a daily driver with the straight axle and maybe bigger tires, so i went with the 83 cause i got it for only 600.

so today the snow started to melt so i decided to clean out the garbage in the bed of the truck and put in my prp seats (still need to do that) but anyway heres some pictures of the truck cleaned up a bit. getting ready to pull the motor tomarrow.
with out further a due heres the cleaned up truck pictures:
i pulled all the crap out of the bed and found there is no dents or even scratches in the bed

the tail lights are original and there not faded or anything, plus the gate is straight.

ooooo fancy door panels they are original aswell.

oh and the glory shot


this truck is making me happy.

Oh thats cool. I've got both and the short block is way more fun but if you build it up it will be pretty badass. Cam, headers, Weber progressive
