new leafs springs
shocks and get the bed off ..flat bed it?!?!?!!?!?! not sure saw some sweet ones i just dont want the frame sticking out i would build a fenders and stuff have sides on the bed .

engine needs gaskets it leaks...

then clean it up fix rust holes on bumper and fix rust on cab and fenders not much....

get new tires there 11 years old!

I need a summer job

and this isnt my first truck ... my first one was a 1957 Ih truck
I bought it to restore but sold it cause it was to bad of shape

then 1991 dodge pickup the na dodge dakota then my pride and joy my rusty toyota ..... I am going to say the truck is a dlx model it doesnt have a tach

and is all vinyl in the inside but i think 500 bucks would fix the frame and leave springs along with shocks ... maybe a bed... i can get steel cheap...

thanks for your info and i got a sweet pic to post of the truck i had it in a barn and thbe sun setting looks great ...so ill post it on here soon ...

but theres kinda my game plan on it

Heres your game plan:
Fix engine
Fix frame
Fix shocks
Fix bed/rust..
Get new tires
It might look ugly, but that won't matter if it runs like a champ.
Time to get a job big guy.

1985.5s are efi straight axle

hey guys I no longer have my 85 i traded it for a 1988 and some cash.... it has a fiberglass bed a 22re and plus i got to keep my radio and bumpers not to mention my brand new exhaust and tool box.... it needs engine work has a nock but it is in way better shape then my previous one..... Ill get pics of it up here we are going to work on the engine this hole week it needs bearings on the lower end ... i love it doesnt have the solid axle in the front ... does have a nice luxury though.... power steering .... oh yea.... ahahahha i am not driving it due to the nock but will be soon .... its pretty nice interior and pint is great...
