Needs a wash 95.5-99 is my fav.

I agree, The IFS trucks would go just as well as the straight axle trucks (probably had a little more ground clearance in the front actually).They just weren't as tough. I put a straight axle in mine because I was tired of going through wheel bearings and CV axles.

Just pulled the bed off mine and built a nice flat bed. I'll post pics if I can figure it out.

It's had a few buck on the back of it too!

Freaking awesome on the flatbed Yota.

appreciate it

I wanted one back then but the cab was too small for me to ride comfortably.

The IFS trucks will hold a set of 35s . For just a huntin' truck they're fine , I like em, take the sway bar off that IFS really works good . Here's my '86 , SAS. Highly modified , on Q Buckshots , it's geared to pull 'em., locked front and rear. I just use it around the property like a SXS.

Another awesome flatbed conversion! Those are bada$$ looking trucks.

I had an 87 exactly like that. Sure it was tough and great in the woods but rode and drove like crap on the highway. Underpowered to pull a bass boat, no interior space and was too small to make out with a fat chick in with that small bench seat. I had it for 4 years but was too underpowered and small for my needs when I got older and had to tow more. Replaced it with a 92 GMC Sierra 4wd with a 5.7 and that awesome burgundy velour interior, man I loved that truck and put 200,000 miles on it, it was great with zero issues. Wish they still made those, rode like a cadillac too and towed great.

First truck was a custom delux chevy 4x4. Bought it new. Seems like it was around $9000. Had the 305 motor. Hated it 1985 model.

1970 Chevy C10, 327 engine, 3 on the tree. Loved that truck.

Now you are REALLY getting into trucks that were easy to work on. No computers or fancy electronics required.

Toyotas are the toughest 4X4. I've prolly owned 25 trucks from '82 -'14 models , including several 4 Runners. IFS / coil rear 4 Runners ride and drive great and if equipped the same will go better than a truck. The weight is distributed better and they aren't as stiff in the rear.

Here's an '82 I built , it's a SR5. I think I gave $700 for it . It's not very highly modified , I bobbed the bed , welded the rear end , built the suspension and put a FJ80 big diameter tie rod on it. Built bumpers. It's painted Massey-Ferguson Grey from TSC . Ridin' on P-Buckshots .

These new body styles just do not appeal to me.. especially the silverados & new tundras = ugly as sin imo

I bought a new 87. The first day I got it I put it threw every mudhole in dale county. Toughest truck of all time. This crap today wouldn't take half what we put those yotas through.

Yup, agreed

I did that the first weekend in my brand new 1990 Nissan Hardbody 4x4. They were great trucks too.

The paint is looking a bit rough. I'd do a weekend Rhino liner spray on the old gal. Would look great and be super functional.

That looks real good RR

Ohhhhhhh You Youngsters. I graduated from high school in '76......wanted a Ford F250 Highboy but it was too expensive. Fast Forward to 6 years ago bought one in decent shape.....body off restoration/paint. Modified 390 turning out a touch over 400 Horses. 4 Speed. 4.11 Gears. Old-Style 9.00-16 36" Grippers. She's BITCHIN'!!
