My new ride

Here is my new ride. It is an 83 scottsdale. New rebuilt 350, and new paint. I picked it up from a guy at work for $2950. The plans in the future include a 6 inch lift, larger tires but not much larger, and I would likt to put a set of headers on it. I am also planning on removing the NP203 and replacing it with my NP205 out of the 80 that I stripped.

Are you sure it has a 203? An 83 should have a 208. The 208 has a 2.6:1 low range. Does it have automatic front hubs?

Forgot, nice truck!

It was a truck that was built, it probibly did have a 208 but it did also have a diesel in it. And thanks everyone for the complements.

I have the adapter already for it. I still have the 350 tranny it was on also.

I am planning on going to the meet but I dont know if I will be taking either truck since the only thing we can fit my family in is the F@#d. I am looking forward to meeting several of the other members there though. I will be taking my black one to the 4X4 Jamborie though.
