Thanks! NW, near Lima and Washington Center.

Nice, not to far from where I work. I will keep you in mind for the future.

If all goes as planned, I'll be buying this old dog tomorrow. Just kinda fell in my lap and I couldn't say no. Body is pretty clean, interior is clean, has a bed rug. It only has 241,000 miles..... Needed a spare vehicle in the family and it will work fantastic as a shop truck. I've been wanting a daily with a bed so I don't have to use my Mazda hatchback as a truck anymore.

Turbocharged big block right?

Quad turbo with 2 fake blowers and 3 big blocks.

 

[RustyHornet]

Score

The price was certainly right.

LS swap?

LS swap?

Don't know about that, but the chassis may end up under one of these someday.

IIRC the ext. cab short bed is the correct chassis for the swap. Let me check and get back with ya.

+1 for black walls out.

DOH standard cab long box I knew that...

Yeah, it's unfortunate.... No big deal though, those are cheap. First gen works better too, less computers and tech to deal with.

I think it needs some white lines to complete the old man look. Mouse, any input on that?

 

[RustyHornet]

I'll be leaving this one alone, at least till after winter... I'm excited to be getting back into a mini truck. Soon I'll be looking at roll pans, lowering blocks and spindles, rallye wheels with moons and some T/As.

You know, kinda like this one I regrettably let go years ago...

Looks pretty slick. I can see why you are sorry you let it go.

What about curb feelers?

Ha.......I am numb tonight.

If that truck had steelies and dog bowls I would be digging it.

I'm accepting donations.

Easiest bolt pattern in the world to find wheels for, I need some cash flow first though...
