Smile 1984 Flat Bed Yota Build Up!

Well I got another. The chevota (stroked chevy powered yota) is in the garage awaiting more funds. Traded my cavalier for this little beast. 103k on it, PO installed flat bed on it. Rusty floorboards (basketball size), brake issues, and S***** tires....All in all nothing major. Runs like a top, has the carb'd 22r and a five speed. Just needs a little tlc.

Whats been done already within a week:
-Patched the floorboards
-Fixed the rear bumper (installed new sheet of 3/16 metal,and put taillights in)
-Installed a new reese hitch onto the frame rails and welded/bolted on
-Fixing dents, prepping for paint
-ATTEMPTED to fix a small hiccup at idle-still have not narrowed it down. Going to put my oscilloscope on it this weekend
-Put my 33" stampedes on it, and of course they rub, the stock springs are SHOT.
-Put my toolbox on it
-Ordered lime green paint for the cab
-Plan on ordering the 3 inch lift with all new springs, and maybe a small shackle lift as well

Enjoy!

Looks good Jake, so nice to see another Ohioan on here, and with talent to boot. You are 30-40 miles from me. I will be looking for a lime green flatbed on 67 or 53 in my travels.
