I finally bought a truck with a good body...
... finally! a solid 73-87, something I've been wanting for a long time. Exactly the truck I want, 6.2 4 speed 4x4 with 4.10s and factory G80. 106K, truck is all original
     It's an '87. It has a sticky lifter (knocking) but it doesn't sound as bad as my '82, this one might free up. I paid $1000, it should have glow plugs and injectors within a year, but it runs and drives fine. Oh, it also needs bigger tires.

Looks great, and the price just makes it even better.

Re: I finally bought a truck with a good body...
To be fair, the AC compressor has been removed
 I can't believe how well the heater controls work, the dash vents actually blow hard, and it switches to floor / defrost quickly. The recirculate on MAX AC doesn't work, I might get a compressor and look into fixing the air this summer though.
