87 Comanche Pioneer "Little Chief"

[k.johnson135]

This is my project. I bought this for $800. I am the second owner of this now. I bought it from my father-in-law. I am the third person to ever wrench on this thing! This has and in always serviced every 3,000 miles. It is at 231,000 and still runs good!

 

So far there is exaust on it(flowmaster), rims, tires, buckets from a comanche chief, 2.5" lift to handle the 31" tires, and a few new parts here and there. Nothing major yet! To come is a lift(as soon as I can find a good one), paint, headliner, and just a freshening up of the old stuff. There is not much wrong with this thing so I just want to get the old stuff replaced first and then get into bumpers and some modifying without changing the look of the truck too much. Have any ideas or wisdom let me know. Your input is always welcome. I like to hear from the pros! Thanks for looking! Oh, I forgot to mention that the brush guard and roll bar along with some other small stuff is from the dealer! Pretty cool I think!

Hey now! My wife bought that for me! LOL You should have seen what was on there! It was one of those old crystal door handles that you would find in a victorian house! I will get to that later. I do have to say if you have big hands like me it is very comfy. :thumbsup:

whats it got for subs or sub

[k.johnson135]

Nothing big just a 10". Just something that was cheap to have some good tunes. I will change it out later on in the project and make something custom for it. I have a few Ideas floating around.

That is a good looking truck. I love the chrome bumpers, grill gaurd and roll bar! Is the chrome on the roll bar peeling or has it been painted over? Maybe with bed liner type stuff?

[k.johnson135]

When my father in law owned it he had painted it. I haven't decided if I am going to repaint it or just remove it. I am going to send all the chrome out to have it redone. There are is some surface rust on the chrome. I like that all that stuff came as a package from the dealer! I am going to keep it on there. It's different. I haven't seen any like that, atleast around where I live. Thanks for looking! :thumbsup:

diggin your truck man.. what exhaust setup you have? ive been looking for something exactly like that

[k.johnson135]

The exhaust is just single into a 50 series Flowmaster and dual out the back. I made sure that it was tucked up in there so that the pipes would not get crushed or damaged. The Flowmaster really lets it breathe and sounds very nice!

[Rymanrph]

Any idea where I can get a push bar like that on the front? That's a great looking truck you've got.

[Backroads]

is that cupholder part of the console orginal or an add on?

[k.johnson135]

This one along with the roll bar came from the dealership that way. It was a package that they put on it. It has all the chrome markings as well. You could probably find a bar like this at any after market 4 Wheel Drive parts place. You would probably have to get it chromed though. Good luck and let me know if you find anything. I will keep an eye out for anything.
