Bought alot of stuff from Marlin so i thought i'd jump on the forum.

I live in N.California, Drive an 82' Toyota PU with some goodies.

Marlin products include... Dual Marlin Cases, Marlin X-over steering, Marlin rebuilt tranny and clutch kit. You guys are a great resource for all of us wheelers! Keep up the great work and good service.

Looking forward to chatting with everyone on the board.

Hey Shamb, I really like the way your truck looks.....

I've been thinking about painting my '81 with some flat color also but I havn't decided.

Could you post some pics? Also I will be bobbing my bed and I was wondering how many inches you took out.
