Picked up another shortbed today. It's an 88, it runs and drives, rust free except for the bed. V6 auto. Needs some work. First thing is to repair the frame from the steering box breaking it, or I should say cracking it. I'm going to design a heavy duty brace for the front frame. Might add a few pounds to the front but I'd rather make sure it's safe. Might go small block turbo setup, been wanting to try something like that. For 300.00 I couldn't go wrong.

my '88 had the V6 with the 5 speed OD. Nice score, and I paid $300 for mine and it had the same bed rot.

Sweet truck, Killer price. Wish I could find 'em around here like that. I'd be a collector. I had an '87 with the slant six and a 4 speed overdrive years ago. Wish I had kept it, but you know what they say. Wish in one hand and spit in the other. See witch fills up first. Enjoy your toy.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.

Brought home another one today! Same money as the red truck. Parting it out though. Need parts for the red truck. I'll post pictures later. Now I just need someplace to keep them Where are you in KY? I'm in the market for some straight doors and fenders, the ones on the '92 I just bought are pretty beat up... I'm in Florence Ky
