Default Finally Got my son a project for first car
1986 Short Wide, got it from original owner for a really good price but needs paint, trim lowered tires and wheels.

Looks like that truck generates a lot of downforce.

Default Nice Truck!
j/k my friend! I had a brown truck just like it that I never should have gotten rid of... it was almost done too! New crate engine/trans/tranfer case etc. New interior, wheels, brakes... just needed a fresh coat of metalic brown to make it like new again... But the big "D" had other plans for that project and it went to a good home...

I just saw this thread. That is one hell of a truck! I almost pulled the trigger on a 1985 short wide, but I have too many projects right now. Look into Porterbuilt street rods out of AZ. Nate has some VERY nice suspension pieces for this truck.

Looks like a fun project. With that first pic. Might want to invest in a good rollbar.
