I just got home with my new toy!!! Its an 81 4x4 w/ a fresh 20r 4 speed etc. The only catch is it was rolled 2 nights ago by my house. It was a VERY cold ride home with no windshield & the drivers door held shut with a bungee cord! Considering its under 20 degrees! Ill post picks of my new pride & joy later when my mother brings me my digital.
woohoo new buildup about to comence!

what can be done about the wobbly shifter? does it have the same plastic bushing as the later 5 sp?

Here it is in all its glory!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #3 on:** Jan 01, 2004, 01:45:54 PM »

so what if it is snowing in the cab when you drive. Maybe I should silicone the plexy windshield, hmmm

did'at you say it had been rolled? that truck looks better than a lot of trucks i see aroud here

Ya that don't look half bad. As for the shifter, it has a pivit point in it witch wears

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #6 on:** Jan 02, 2004, 02:11:19 AM »

rolled on driver side to top when I drove by it was sitting in its lid.
it doesnt look too bad in the pics, but trust me the roof has anywhere from 1/8 to 5/16 thick bondo!! I fixed the top with a BFH and a 60 in. Hilift. took a while but I dont think it came out half bad. I would put a real windshield in it but I think this summer its gonna loose its roof and the cab will be a walk through, with a sammy rear seat.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #7 on:** Jan 05, 2004, 09:45:19 PM »

see I told ya it was bad

If ya look close at the rear pillar you can see it is creased all the way down. Inside is folded about 3/8 in. didnt even try to fix that.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #8 on:** Jan 05, 2004, 09:51:36 PM »

door is wasted it is folded along the bat wing. all the way to the bottom. the first thing I did when I got it home was take off the fender and beat the holy hell out of it. still is trashed. and yall didnt think it was that bad! I think it looks BEETIFULL

I hope the heater works, looks too cold up there.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #12 on:** Jan 07, 2004, 09:14:53 PM »

the heater works real good just need to seal up the windshield so it will stop snowing inside while you drive! and yes looks are not deceiving it has been about 15-20 degrees for about 2 weeks. weve gotten over a foot of snow. not bad for the land of sagebrush and coyotes!!

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #16 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:02:30 PM »

here are a couple from eeeaaaarrrrllllyyyy this morning. wasnt actually that stuck in this pic but it only got worse from this point.
who says stock springs dont flex? theres about 3 in. of air under that tire.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #17 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:06:01 PM »

the more we tried to strap the truck the farther the truck went down hill. at one point I couldnt open the pass door cuz the ground got in the way.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #18 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:13:31 PM »

we went back up after work today to retrieve the truck but in trying to jerk it backwards the bumper broke! not the bolts or the welds but the tube actually ripped and flew about 40 feet and hit a buddy of mine across the thighs! I took him to the ER all he had were some serious charlie horses but they think he'll make it.

So its back up the hill for me in the am to HiLift/winch it out.

brainlessfool · « **Reply #19 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:39:42 PM »

Dang! you keep treating your wheeling buddies like that for long and you'll become .....THE LONE WHEELER:laugh:

Thumper · « **Reply #20 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:43:07 PM »

dang white did u get it out yet.

did it find a sink hole while u were out wheeling or what that sounds like kinda what i did yesterday. i took some buddys of myne out wheeling with me and my right front found a soft spot and just sunk. at 1st it wasent that bad but after a few attempt's at trying too back out and go out foreward u couldent even see my 33 bfg's any more

and the left rear was off the ground. thats what i get for wheeling in my street tires.

the pic attached is right after i found the hole and after i just dug it down deeper too where the tire was gone it was 2 dark too take a pic.

Thumper · « **Reply #21 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 09:47:06 PM »

hopefully the pic will post this time.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #22 on:** Jan 17, 2004, 10:05:46 PM »

That snow up on the hill is absolutely positively unadulterated pure fricken EVIL!!! nice thick hard crust with zero traction dry popcorn powder underneath. you are fine as long as you dont spoin yer tires. problem with my truck is the front driveline has yet to be built it is still in pieces in the bed. yes I know I need to be slapped. I was doing fine till my buddies decided to dig big holes for me to try to navigate.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #27 on:** Jan 18, 2004, 07:49:32 PM »

Kinda sad all the time Ive been here I think this is the first pic of my truck not in a shop or my driveway!

Thumper · « **Reply #28 on:** Jan 18, 2004, 08:01:02 PM »

Did u have any luck getting it out today?
by the looks of the pic it looks like u almost could have rolled it on the hill.
ur truck looks good did u get ur front driveline fixed yet?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #29 on:** Jan 18, 2004, 08:16:09 PM »

Still havent fixed the driveline but yes it is out!

We had to use a HiLift to move it up and torwards the trail filling in the old ruts as we went. Then I hooked up to it and jerked the $hit out of it!! I suppose most people would've been easier on their own stuff but Im stupid like that.

It needs another plexi windshield. Guess I was jerking it kinda hard cause the windshild is cracked all over the place and the roof is twisted now! but I can fix that
