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

At that price it`s pretty much a steal around here. Looks real solid, swap in some 8 lugs and go wheeling. Wish it was closer.

I know the breakage is inevitable, but the 10 bolts have done well for the stuff I've been doing. I'm pretty easy on the go pedal, though.

I do have a 4.11 geared 10b front I'll include with it; all you'll have to do is round up a 14 and some 16" 8 lug wheels!
 
Herculined the rear interior sides (no trim panels) and tailgate interior today, also swapped in an Alpine head unit I had lying around that has iPod and iPhone control.

Somebody needs this thang!
 
Alright, I inspected the axles on this last week, and it's a game changer.

The front ball joints are completely shot. I mean SHOT. Rear axle bearings are in the same boat; if someone buys this I'd trust it to get somewhere in the metro, but beyond that I'd trailer it.

Due to some recent health issues I'm unable to either service the axles or swap them completely, and I've got some bills piling up so I'm going the fire sale route;

$1000 cash.

No haggling, no BS, if you want it, it's $1000. The seats, engine and head unit are worth that alone.
 
Waiting for reply on truck still!
