That's a super clean looking truck for it's age, Sweet find.

What kind of plans do you have for it ?

liljon285 · 03-22-2007, 09:49 PM

that is a sweet ride i wish i could find one like that

Pyrotechnic · 03-23-2007, 12:29 AM

Yeah I could really stand to get one like that. That truck looks brand new!

I've been desperately searching on craigslist for a 1983 under truck (to avoid emissions laws) since november of last year and all thats turned up are trucks that need major repairs to the body and interior. I'm getting rather tired of walking though. Where are these awesome trucks hiding ?

You lucky dog. That truck is awesome.

The trucks are out there. They will pop up when you least expect it or either you don't have the money. Your going to have to spend a little to get a decent driver. A fixer upper beats walking though. I spent $1500 for my 84swb and the engine started going down hill six months later. I spent $2000 for my 85 lwb. I've put almost that much in repairs and upgrades. It's running well but I'm still spending.

Thanks. For now I just plan on lowering it. Once I have time to start on it I'll fix the few rust spots and thats it. The best part...It was free.

Yes. It was my great grandfathers, then he passed away, then my aunt had it and decided to give it to me.

Pyrotechnic · 03-23-2007, 04:47 PM

Ah....passed down in the family. Gotcha. I thought you just knew someone and they handed it over.

Eyegore · 03-23-2007, 04:53 PM
