I'll give more details as I figure out my new truck but here it is a 1983 SR5. I was told it has a 3 inch lift. Its got 32" BFGs, I'm guessing a welded rear end, an ugly bumper up front, sliders and a rear bumper, the engine was rebuilt a few years ago, I have a receipt dated 12/13/01 from Marlin Crawler for a rebuilt L52, the name on it is Craig Onodera with a Phoenix, AZ addy. The same name is on the receipt for the engine rebuild but it was done at a shop here in Boise. So anyways heres a few pics, just got my plates today but still need to get it insured so no action shots yet  :laugh:

bought it stock from some old man, was a 3 speed auto. I put a 32/36 on it longtube header, we had to modify it to fit, 2" pipe to a flowmaster. Originally I wasn't going to do anything other than tint the windows and drive it. A few months after I got it one of my mini trucker friends wanted to lower it after I put the 15" enkeis on so I told him go for it. Its got 3 coils cut off on the front springs and HAD mono leafs and 3" blocks and airshocks with a bridge notch out back, that lasted about 6 years till one of the springs finally cracked. after that it really turned into a project. I put a 5 speed out of a 79 in it and was going to just swap the whole 79 rear into it but the perches are a bit wider so I just put the springpacks and blocks on the original rear. At that point I had to move it so I just loosely put it back together and haven't really touched it since. Anybody wanna buy it? $600 obo lol I have a bunch more pics on my myspace if you guys wanna check it out  http://www.myspace.com/joethemanho

ok guys I got a chance to go out and play just a lil bit today and get some pics. It doesnt have the greatest flex, but more that I expected. It got me to thinking about the marlin 5 inch springs and wondering if I can just bolt them in since the truck looks like the hangers have already been moved when it was lifted. heres a few new pics, nothing crazy since I'm still getting used to the truck  :greengrin:
