So I got the Truck home, and hope to get some work done on it this weekend. Gonna pull the shell off it today and start to pull the tranny out. Dropped a new battery in it yesterday and it fired right up. Gas gauge doesn't work so looks like I need to pull the sender out and find a new one. Lots of surface rust on the cab and one bad spot on passanger side, bed is shot probably gonna ditch that also. I have a 85 2wd that I will be using as a parts truck, but all and all gonna be a fun little project.

 

So I got the Shell off, and the bed is pretty much rotted away. Thinking about putting the Blue 85 2wd bed on it, thoughts?

Aren't the 2wd and 4wd fenders and bed flares different?
I know at least the front fenders are. Bed's will bolt up the same though regardless of flare type.
Have fun fabbin the new seats in place. I have similar style seats in my wrangler and i hate them! You always have to crawl in and out of them, to each their own though.

 

I have Sparco's in my MR2, so I am used to crawling in and out of the seats. Yeah, I noticed the bed on the 2wd isn't as flared out.

 

los osos? where is that?
theres a highschool here in rancho cucamonga called los osos.

 

oh nevermind.. your north of here.

 

is the rust only were the shell was? looks like you might have a good candidate to bob your bed!

 

I haven't pulled the bed liner yet, but the bed is pretty bad.

Looking for a front solid axle, want to break in my buddy's new plasma cutter.

 

Picked up a Clutch kit and Flywheel today, will pull tranny out this weekend.

Picked up a set of 15x10 steel wheels with 35x12.50's $100. Didn't think putting a wanted add on craigslist would work, but it did.

 

Here is a pic of the wheels.
