87Chief Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Finally broke down and got one! It's an 88 pioneer long bed. We put a battery in it and some fuel and it started up and idled great, no ticks. It has 213k on the odometer. I'll probably do a tune up on it, gaskets and such, it needs a clutch, we put it in first with the clutch in and started it up and went forward, stick wouldn't even budge if we tried to put it in gear. Anyway, I'm excited.
87Warrior Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 That looks like a pretty nice donor. Must have been an expensive truck to buy new: 4.0, slider, cargo light, full cluster, two tone buckets, tilt, AC....
87Chief Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 I think the buckets are out of a cherokee.. They kind of rock back and forth on the rail... Hard to explain, but they rock and don't tilt forward, unless I have to adjust the cable.

87Chief Posted January 5, 2014 Author Posted January 5, 2014 Thanks guys, as you can see the interior is shot and I don't think the cargo switch is there...
shelbyluvv Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 LWB Olympic truck at that. She's a rare find for sure!
87Chief Posted January 6, 2014 Author Posted January 6, 2014 Awesome! I'm itching to get started on this!
