Well I guess its time to quit lurking and do a intro. I picked up my truck a few months ago after spending a while searching the auctions and classifieds i found mine on craigslist here in Billings.

Its a 81 3/4 ton 4x4 longbed with a 350 and turbo 400 po says its got a 14bolt rear (not sure how to verify or what gears it has) B&M shift kit, Edlebrock carb and intake, HEI ignition, Hooker headers. It has 33x12x16s on it and converted to manual hubs. He was a very thorough kinda guy the truck looks great well kept for 30+ years old. And the best part was landing it for $1,500.

So far all I have had time to do to him (anointed as jerry jeff) is add a new steering wheel the big school bus monster wasnt cutting it, a stereo and speakers, add 12v plugs, cb radio, rework the gauges yellow lens and add a tach.

I am planning a 6 inch lift around the end of the year (rough country) and moving up to 35's then dual antennas (of course) then start sanding and rust repair.

thanks for any info and if anyone has any tips on where i can take my truck out and play here in Montana Im new to the state I just moved up from Texas.
