Tip #4. Check EVERYWHERE for rust. And do #1 and use #2 all the time.

 

Dude, I surfed through your build and LOVE what youve done. Nice work!

 

Get a service manual and a bitchin tool set.

 

I have a Chiltons! Im looking at getting a FSM though, seems like I'll need it. I have a pretty bitchin toolset available to me...On of those old Jessie James edition Craftsmans sets...

 

I hace a thread going to download an 83 FSM look for it and download it for your 82 it will work fine

 

Thatd be extremely helpful. Thanks

 

How to upload pictures on a thread?

 

For microsoft users make you an account with photobucket and upload all your pictures to your account. Next go to a picture (in photobucket) you want to upload and look to the right of the picture and you see something about image url. Click it and it copies the url of the pic to your clipboard Then in your yotatech post, click on the little yellow icon that looks like it has a mountain and sun in it. Then in the box that pops up
paste the image-url for the picture you want to post.

 

Upload your pics to a service like Photobucket, then hover over your uploaded image and click-to-copy the code between the "[IMG]" tags then paste the code here.

 

Welcome to yotatech! Tip #5 I think. If you need help or have a question someone on here can help!

 

Thanks to everyones help! I can tell when I have questions, they wont go unanswered. Thatll definitely help when I start building up my baby

 

Your truck has a 20R in it? The FSM I mentioned won't help for that. You should have a 22R but guess the previous owner put a 20R in it.

 

good luck with your truck

i wish i could find a first gen in my area i could afford there booty full

 

Welcome! Hey I'll be moving to K Falls in January to start OIT, how do you like it there? Can't wait to see your truck, I'll be happy to help out.

 

I love it Klamath! Especially now, when its hunting season. I'm sure you'll see it! Maybe we'll wheel sometime!

 

congrats on the buy its like joining a completely different brotherhood when you start driving a first gen!!!!!
