i started with a 1983 sr5 that i bought about a 3 years ago it was ugly camo and has 22r and a g54 tranny. but then a swapped a l52 with a w56 top shift case into it, it has a 85 front axle and had a bench seat out of a 3rd gen i put stock bucket seats back into it,the people that owned it before me ripped out all the interior witch sucks but o well



(first day i broght it home)



First thing i did was give it a nice fresh paint job


then me and my buddy (89sastoy) bobbed my bed

not to barge in but where in oregon do you live

 

im in milwaukie just outside portland

 

thats a cool first gen dude

 

thanks alot man

 

Very cool truck man!

 

thanks alot man, i love it iv always wanted a first gen so i bought it when i was 16 and im 19 now and still have it

 

vrey nice truck, think I saw you at browns camp on the 4th

 

Yup I was at browns on the the 4th camped down at the mud pit by can opener kinda

 

I kinda liked the red.. Seems like EVERYONE paints their 1st gen OD..

But cool truck nonetheless, hows the propane? Heard one of the best parts is the smell

 

im still workin on the propane but couple buddys have it and love it so im sure i will as well, but ya my truck was 2 tone cream and terra cotta but people before me painted over it

 

well i got it running on propane and runs amazing! cant wait to take it wheelin and see how much better it is

 

I'm curious too, keep us posted. I'm interested in mpg too. Are you running a dual fuel setup or all propane?

 

I'm running straight propane but I don't daily drive it but once it's driveable I'll take it around and see how it does

 

sweet rig hope fully ill see it up browns camp one of these days

 

hopefully soon yes!!!

 

o my god propane is well worth the money!!!!!!!! i will never own a gas powerd wheeler again

 

mileage? how far can you go on a single tank? how big is your tank/s?

 

not quite sure about milage but i have 2 9 gallon tanks and i drove a hour to where we wheel and wheeled for about 6 hours and switched tanks before i headed home just to be safe

 

that's pretty close to stock mileage, then. sweet.

got any pics of your tanks? i'm considering propane, as well
