First of all, I have to say thanks to  Chris Pitts for finding this clean 85 ex cab for me.I have been loving this truck since I have traded this for my Chevy.  I want the best of both worlds:A weekend warrior, and a clean dd. I have done minor repairs recently, it drives nice, everything except the horn and flashers work...a short somewhere. I have these parts already:                                                   locked axles w/ 5:29s -IFS Rear                           HighSteer kit + Arms                        Bilstein 5125s                                          5pt. Bucket seats             MY PLAN: is to run sliders,rear bumper, keep it low/flexy on 35s with RUF mix,with F-150's out back Bilsteins all around on custom mounts, custom d-lines, axle armour, and possible exo-cage. Back to reality, updates will come as work happens but for I will be working, saving,and scrounging for parts. Going to be tak :beerchug:ing place as funds allow! :turtle:
