Nice truck, always wanted a 73-87 4x4 but want some decent gas mileage. IS that a short bed, my eyes are messing with me right now.
 
Someone in Ohio has a slammed truck like this, really awesome paint on it, looks amazing, makes me want one. Cool truck though, when I was really young (pre 10) my dad had one of these with a 454 and a 350 turbo tranny I believe. Man was that truck cool, I could see the road through the floor while we were driving, and in the summers when he was working on it he would order a pizza for lunch or something and we'd sit on the fenders with the pizza on the air pan and eat. Oh good times. Sorry for the ramblings. Cool truck.

yeah this truck used to be a show truck a long time ago from what info ive gathered, and thanks.

i ordered purple hornies for it today and ill have them on tomorrow and take a video of sound, i need to get a u-joint for the front driveshaft, change the oil,, order and put the B&M tranny cooler on, and fix the light wiring, then ill get it plated and registered :)
 
welp got the purple hornies on it today, might have to redo them when i go to put the front driveshaft it in, the passenger side one might hit, they dont sound too bad, im pretty sure the truck is out of time though, listen to it idle in the video and let me know what you think about the timing

those purple gay pinstripes need to go!

flat black it!
 
im pretty sure the timing is off, it wants to kill itself all the time, might be in part of the quadrajunk carb on it too
 
your horns are going to get ripped off if you do any kinda wheeling with it.
 
well it probably wont see anything but maybe a little mud before i get a full exhaust ran on it, or at least one to the back axle then dumped.
 
well i got some stuff for it, an edelbrock 600, gonna see if i can find a cheap edelbrock intake manifold, and i got a set of free Moroso valve covers that im gonna sand blast and maybe paint black
