'87, 5 speed, carbed unfortunately, that will have to change. Will get SAS'd, dual cases with one getting 4.7's, flatbellied, skids out the wazoo, 5.29's, lockers, bobbed bed, at least 37's, more than likely an exo, liberal removal of sheetmetal in the wheelwell areas to clear the tires and eventually a motor swap yet to be determined. Will not be a trailer queen, will be driven to the trails as I can't afford a tow rig and trailer. Nothing will happen fast with this build and the truck will remain driveable until all the parts for each upgrade are gathered. I lose interest and momentum FAST when a ride goes down for an extended time. The list of "has to be dones" is top of the list needless to say before "want to do's" get attention. Drove the truck home from Booneville running 70 with the A/C blowing cold and the Mud Kings singing and was amazed at how smooth it was.
The truck was laid on its side two owners ago
Must do list:
Rt front corner marker lens and pigtail for the bulb Need new mirrors for both sides of the truck I need an ignition cylinder and key, really need door cylinders as well Most likely some exhaust work including a cat since I have to go thru inspection The Weber needs tuning I think Damn near every vacuum port is capped off Timing might need attention but I don't have an old school light anymore Both window regulators need attention. Good thing the truck has working A/C and butterfly windows There are some rust spots but nothing critical Gotta yank that toolbox out of the bed...they aren't my cup of tea Windows have to be tinted Going to see what Clyde can do with the body damage on the passenger side
I'll add some more pics later

If its square like the bottom one in the pic look at tag holders in an auto parts store. They have a couple different sizes. Might have one to fit.
