[yoter4x4]

my last 1st gen, 83 long bed 20r 4 speed, extremely low budget total cost for the lift-tires-truck was $700

bought the truck bone stock with 235's on it for $250... than the other $450 went into the lift and tires 5.5" skyjackers and 36" sx's on 8 inch wheels


sadly enough... i saw it sitting in the junkyard the other day, really made me sad

pics- when i owned it and what it is now

[rockcrawlinredneck]

There is some nice first gens in here. Here is some pics of mine, if I keep it it is gonna get a Vette motor and auto tranny (when I can afford it) and probally sell off the 40" MTR's for some 40" Iroks or LTB's.

[mudmaster]

Sweet ride!

[yoter4x4]

holy god rcredneck.... your truck is.... i dont even know the word..... PERFECT!   its actually my desktop background now lol, nice work man, the vette motor would be so cool

ya i know the guy that runs the junkyard, asked him about the truck today and told him ( i know this is hard to think about)

i told him if they plan on crushing it, he better sell it to me instead


good news though, a guy that works there is just storing it there, supposedly my old sad lookin 83 is in line for a 302 swap and full widths

[4x4yota]

that is a beautful truck... any more pics...


also how about a build thread?

[CrazyYota]

Thanks 4x4yota and chunkybutfunky. It's not the nicest first gen, trust me it has a couple of dings you cant see because of the paint. Also i need to repaint it because the cheap paint i used it coming off. Those are a year old pics. I want to try and paint it again this summer. No build thread because there is no build. Its my DD.

[4x4yota]

wow that is a great truck looks...


beautiful...(only word that comes to mind)

[CrazyYota]

Thanks.    My sixteen year old sister says its a piece of junk! HA HA HA She says i should sell it and buy a lowrider. I have nothing against lowriders but I would not own one and my youngest sister LOVES IT! She named it the Fatty, because she said its big and slow.
