Just got an 81 pickup and I can't wait to start fixing her up.

 

Congrats. I love my 81 wouldn't trade for nothing. Well maybe :-)

 

Great thread archive worthy.

Upload them to an image hosting website such as photobucket.com

Go to that link

 

post the img code of the picture on your reply, that way people dont have to click the link, give us some more detail man, how you got it, what you paid for it, what are your plans for it, how you found it, build up threads r like looks about our rigs, nobody reads to a book starting with "they all died in the end"

 

Well I had a 84 4runner that I ran into a chevy at a stop light. The Chevy won! So I didn't have very much cash and needed a car. I looked on craigslist and found this beauty for 800. It needed a new tranny though. So I had it towed to my buddies where he put a 4 speed in it. Since the tranny was off we put a whole new clutch in as well.

 

As mentioned before, copy and paste the [I mg] code into your post. Links suck and the one you posted is for the funky mobile app..
Doesn't this look better than a link?




That thing has potential but with all that rust I bet the cab floor is a prime example of 1st Gen floor rust at the 4 corners..

 

nice its got a good stance

 

I haven't been able to get to a computer sorry I'll post more that way when I can. It's rusty alright but the cab is the best part. I'll check for the four corners thing tommorrow I am going to make some temporary door panals soon!

 

i really like the color, details dude!!!

 

ok i really like the stock look of the truck but dont know what to do about all the rust! any ideas what i can do? also keep in mind this is a low budget build. thanks
