I just picked up this 83 short wide for $700 it was a Portland Oregon Army Corps of Engineers truck. It has a 250 straight six with a TH350 a 10 bolt posi but not sure what the ratio is. Power brakes but no power steering it's got some surface rust but no cancer and a few dings and dents but it's mostly straight. Interior is pretty shot though but the dash isn't in too bad of shape. Not sure what i am going to do with it just yet.

Bad A$$! Whats the specs on wheels/tires and drop? Looks perfect.

BVANT1 · 03-06-2013, 01:00 AM

Thanks Hevy and 74 stepside. Front 235/60/17 back 275/65/17. My brother-in-law Ryan Reed www.reedsridedesigns.com helped me with the wheel and tire fitment and stance. I dropped it with 2 1/2 inch drop spindles and 2" drop coils that were cut to get the stance lower. The rear is a flip kit with c-notch and 2 inch blocks.
