Its an 83. It has a 6 inch suspension lift and a 3 inch body lift. It has a 400BB in it for a motor. This truck has been sitting for about 5 or so years. I build it back in 2001 and sold it to a friend of mine and he pretty much let sit. He put a different motor/trans/transfer case in it and I now have to get new drive shafts made, finish some wiring and pray that the motor is still good. It has minimal rust and it will be a good project. I have been waiting to get the truck back pretty bad. I would like to some day swap a 7.3 in there. I have been working at a large diesel shop on the east side for awhile so I have come to want a diesel pretty bad. Its going to be a project......
