Engine: 2.8/4.0
Finally got it home and in the garage tonight. Considering it has been sitting for the last 5 plus yrs out in the weather, its not in that bad of shape body wise. Has surface rust, other than that its pretty clean. Interior is great shape.
Its an 86',2.8,auto. Will be strictly ranch use, not street legal.
Needs a carb rebuild, but if anyone has a good carb for sale PM me.
My plans are:
Fit 31" tires
Spool the rear dif or Lincoln locker
remove carpet and bedline interior
brushguard in front, HD one, plus have recievers for road feeders/hunting platform .
Camo paint
Working A/C, it gets hot in South Texas in the summer.
My immediate issues are tires that hold air for more than 30 minutes, which will be on after Christmas, drop fuel tank to clean the stail fuel out and a carb, so I can back in and out of garage while working on it. It does run when pouring fuel into carb.
I am going for low budget, but not half a$$ on this build. Will posting pics and asking ?s
