84 pickup

[jprinehart84]

So i'm gonna start a thread on my buildup. And a heads up, this isnt gonna be a over night build.  As much i wish it was it will be a while....Ill be happy if its done in a year.  Its an 84 with the 22r carb, some bald a$$ 33" thornbirds.  Plannin on dual cases, 4" marlin lift 36 irocs, and all the other bells and whistles. Heres some pics
First day home, gave 750$ not to bad but we will see


I took the bed off and ugly bumper..... Frame looks pretty good.


Let me know what u think

I can't see the pictures cause of the firewall at work but i'm still going to follow this build up good luck!

Man my bed looks huge in that picture..... How do i get the heater controls, out so i can get my dash out??

[Fearofrunner]

the ends should just pop off the levers and i think the face plate just pops out too but be careful you dont break it that plastic is old and brittle

[jprinehart84]

thanks,,,, yeah i learned the hard way about how fragile that plastic is, when i put it  back on its gonna look like crap cuz the vent covers snapped in half

you should tube bed it

Are you planning on tubing it or getting a new bed?  The origional looks like it has a bit of a rust issue.

[jprinehart84]

Yeah i want to tube bed it, the rust isnt as bad as it looks, but i need to get a tube bender
