Got another truck today!

I bought a 83 F150 4X4 351W (I think) auto.
My plain is to make a few repair's tune up,carb kit,get rid of the old man camper and boards,maybe some paint, drive the truck for the winter! While I rebuild the 351w in my 87. In the spring once the 87 is done, I plain to lift and much larger Tires on the 83 make it a play toy, but keeping it street legal.
MY 83

The funny thing is that was the same camper on my 87 when I bought it last year, I sold it to the guy that I bought the 83 from.
