my 86
« on: August 29, 2009, 07:29:51 pm »
hello, i'm new to this site and would like to share some pics of my truck that I just bought. Its a 86 chev wrangler that I picked up for $1000 bucks. It has a 305 4bbl smokes a little but runs great. The body is in  good shape, needs some work like cab corners, and has some rust over the rear fenders. I plan on doing a 4/6 lowering kit and body work for now. more as time and money allow. just want to get it on the road so me and my son can drive around in it. I'll post more pics of my progress.

The first two pics are of when I got the truck, the last is after the flip in the rear and coils in the front. Since then I have added 3" drop spindles on the front. I'll try and post more pics.

Doing some bodywork lately, replaced the rear wheel arches on my box. while I was at it I shaved the gas filler door and relocated it into the bed floor. also filled in the stake pockets and removed the spare tire carrier and welded in the holes. Still have some more finish welding to do.
