I plan on dropping her a few inches and add some bigger tires (undecided on how big and what tires) but I have to be careful as I need the bed to be functional and able to carry a full load.

This is a beautiful truck!!

Smoke Dog - a trailer would be nice but then I should have bought a Chevelle. Besides I convinced my wife I needed this truck for work and she's the one who controls the lady parts...

Here's my '82 my friends call "Show Plow" because I did a frame off on my snow plow truck. Yeah the plow needs some work too.

ghettoluxury · 04-13-2012, 12:57 PM

Saw this on CL today for $2500. The first pick looked like a deal, then i scrolled through.

tazman87 · 04-13-2012, 01:04 PM

a lot of parts there!...anyone who were to grab this would be smart!

RandyP · 04-13-2012, 01:21 PM

That truck would be worth a small amount over crush value actually. One door and one bedside and a tailgate (maybe) is left for useable sheet metal, the rest would have to be in mint interior pieces.

3r!c84 · 04-13-2012, 01:32 PM

$1000 and it would be a deal for parts

Bondobob, that's a good looking plow truck, and I like the GLI too! I sell VWs and I just happened to take one to lunch today that looks exactly like that.

I love it. the .373's really woke the truck up. and with the 700r4 i can still cruise at highway speeds. I haven't figured the mileage yet, but i'd say i'm in the 10-12mpg range right now. im still in the break in stage of the engine and we've got the carb tuned a tad on the rich side. i'll be leaning it out a tad in a week or so.

Smoke_Dog · 04-15-2012, 02:57 PM

I was looking about the True Trac posi, but I 'm not sure! Did u get yours from summit?

I thinks
