1/2 ton status
I simply don't have the time to work on and wheel this thing right now. I love it, but the timing isn't right, so here goes.
83 Jimmy, 350/465/208, 1/2t running gear, 3.73 gears with F&R Lock-Rights. New dual exhaust with headers, edelbrock intake but otherwise stock; unknown mileage on rebuild, but the truck runs GREAT. I use it to commute to work 50 miles daily and it's done fantastically.
3"ish lift (I think Superlift...somebody painted it red) with rear zero rates and front HD shackles. Tires are 305/70R16 Maxxis Bighorns on 16x8 Xtreme Alloy wheels. Tires have 14-15/32 tread (78-80%), wheels have no rash and are in excellent shape.
I just replaced the carpet with ACC stuff, and the seats are from an 02 GM truck (power Driver's seat). New 4" in dash speakers and new 6x9's in the door.
Truck does have a rusty tailgate, rust behind the rear driver wheelwell, and a bunch of dents on the passenger side. Windshield is cracked, and it needs a new headliner. Other than that, everything is in decent shape.
This would be an excellent budget wheeler or first rig for sure.
NEW PRICE $1000
