Nice truck Thermal. Is it unrestored? It's in great shape. Are those newly installed headers?

Thanks....No it's all origional on the outside....The engine/driveline was overhauled about 20K miles ago, but the rest is all 82.  unreal, huh?  that's a GA and NC truck for 27 years...Set me back only $3200 as well...I love it.

Yes, the headers are pretty new...I put on dynomax full length with 2.25" dual pipes straight back to thrush turbo mufflers.  I couldn't figure out how to do a cross over with the materials I bought for it/limited space on a 4wd, so it's straight duals turning out in front of the back wheels.

Interior pics comming up soon....

That is unreal. I bet that sounds great. I would worry about the crossover, probably couldn't notice a difference anyway. Mine was done the same way(full length Flowtech headers to 2.5" into 40series Flowmasters and turndowns before the rear). Can't wait to see the interior.

Here's the interior pics...The interior was mildly restored by the 1st owner.  he re-covered/cushioned the seat, installed a new headliner...I did the new dash cover and the belt-in console.  I have the plastic spray for the door panels etc, but haven't had the time to do that yet.  They are faded but crack/rot free, so that should finish off the interior, aside from needing a CD head unit soon.  The stock radio is worn and won't hold a station over bumps...

The odometer has rolled over once...Anything I missed, just ask...

Thanks for all the positive replies guys...

Yea, it sounds pretty good....The thrush turbos are mild, fairly quiet, but grumble nicely...It's got a nice low growl...I didn't want anything too loud, it's a daily driver...So I was pleased with the outcome...She sounds mean,  but doesn't wake up the wife/kids when I start it and let it warmup in the driveway at 6am.

Everyday driver for $3200 isn't bad at all. Interior looks great. I wish mine did. I like the black and tan combo.
