'86 SWB!
« 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.

If you can find a 4 incher that's not fiberglass let me know...
77 c-10 - 77 400 86 700r4 "Emmy"
83 citation - 2.5L Four on the Floor!
88 sierra - reman 350 700r4 "Eleanor"
All normal practicality and rational money handling goes out of the window when it comes to my truck.

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.
