I just bought this 1987 square body in Tennessee and brought her home to North Carolina yesterday! I can’t wait to get started on it. I’m going to restore everything inside and out. Going to paint her a two tone black and silver.
Looking forward to being a part of this group!

Looks like that truck you bought is in pretty good shape!

I have a black and silver truck also....actually, it's gunmetal gray and black...and the black on the bottom is LineX.

Welcome from a few miles east!

Outside of the paint, that truck looks great.

Hello and welcome. What is your budget for this? Sometimes people don't realize what it now costs to do a complete restoration. I just made mine comfy to drive and use and spent $5000 after purchase.
