Looks like I forgot to add the second pickup I bought back in June. She's spent her entire life on the island of Guam, and I think I might take it back to the states with me when I leave here.

Location: Andersen Air Force Base, Yigo, Guam
Original Selling Dealer: Don't know. Delivery receipt only says purchasers name.
Mileage: Over 169K of of at least 3 years ago, speedometer doesn't work.

Been slowly putting her back to good working order. Rust holes in the body in some places, carpet was pulled long ago in favor of bedliner on the floor, back trim panel is gone, and the steering column trim is missing, but other than that it's complete. Jumped a tooth on the timing belt, that was scary, but she got a full timing kit and pump and it happy now. Likes to kill tie rods, still trying to figure that one out. I'll post pictures when I take them.

This is his truck:

No Tach, Bench Seats, Vinyl Floor covering, Solid rear window, 14x6 steelies (replaced with better wheels off of 2001 Trooper), No rear bumper (seems to be a trend with these, huh?) Came with an awful aluminum framed and paneled Camper with a simple sliding crank window to open them out slightly. It has honestly grown on me, we'll see what else I do to it.

I ordered the truck in May of 1986. At the time I was driving a 1983 Datsun 720 4x4 4cyln. I keep driving by the dealership and seeing
the new hardbody out front.Then one day I stopped to test drive one.WOW,the truck drove so smooth with the 6 cylinder,I ordered
one that day. The truck has the "ORIGINAL CLUTCH",and original paint.Some where around 1996 the plastic contour light bar disintegrated.
Most of it's use now is going to the dump once a month,and Homedepot .I'll try and get some pictures posted.

:welcome:

No worries. There's a time limit for editing posts. If you don't see the edit button then the time has expired, and the post can't be edited.

Go ahead and create a new post. I'm temporarily limited on accessing the internet (thanks to hurricane Ian), so I'll clean this up later.
