jeeppapa Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Its an 86 2.5 Custom 4x2 with a perfect body. Crying shame that it came to this. Had the blue interior too. Got a great tailgate off it , and L taillight, the bed is scorched but the mettle is still straight. They gave me a price of 200 on the bed so as soon as I can it’s mine. Going to grab the tank, filler neck and fuel pump too. Bumper isn’t terrible but I would need a press to straighten it. It’s a hart breaker just to look at it. I’m going to need your help Blue Note Nick if your up for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeeppapa Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 This isn't Paradisemjs truck is it ? I was thinking that too. I pried the glovebox open and it had a registration out of Apple Valley. Amazingly every thing in the glovebox was intact. Lots of burned cars showing up in the yard.

Sir Sam Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Wonder if its salvagable by head blasting the whole body or dipping the whole body? When cars catch fire they tend to burn hot enough to majorily distort the body, but since it was stuff around it burning it might have been better. If the unibody, cab, bed werent wavy if might make a great 97+ conversion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone took care of this truck hardly any body dings in it. Not even door dings. Scorch marks looked as if grass under it had started it burning.

Pete M Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 looks like a great trail rig maybe. especially if you lived in a perpetually dry area. although the smell might be a bit much to actually retain that "patina". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
