Title: '86 SWB!
Post by: Tad. on October 21, 2010, 12:18:00 am

Clearly I'm new on this board but, forums are not new to me. I love my truck! I've been dreamin about this model and year since I was 13! I picked her up about 3 months ago from a gentleman who only used her to tow his show cars back and forth between shows. He's kept real good care of it. He swapped the 305 for a crate Edel 350 two years ago. Lovin this truck as much as the ole lady herself!

Yea, man. She's in fantastic shape. The only rust I can find in some surface in the bed. I also haven't pulled up the carpet yet but from underneath it looks rust free. I was a 4 inch Cowl hood, Micky Thompsons, billet grill, and a Hunter's Green paint job. The only bad thing about the interior is the Drivers side Door Panel is cracked from use. I'm having trouble finding a door panel for under 200 bucks.

Yea, I will. I already know I'm gonna have to get one made unless I hit a stroke of luck and find one online somewhere.
