Re: My First truck
Sounds like it would be a really nice truck. Anything from 73-87 would be awesome in my opinion. But if it were me, I'd stay away from the body lift. Welcome to the forum.

Re: My First truck
35's and gas mileage dont go together. Maybe look into a 6.2 diesel but they aint exactly fast... good mileage to boot though. I would also stay away from a body lift. 35's will fit with the 4.. trim a little if you go offroad.
