Elwiscon Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago (edited) Hello, here’s my build. As purchased, 1989 Comanche Sport Truck, stock, unmolested, originally purchased from a car flipper, it was intended to be used as a daily driver…4 years later and still in restoration/modification. First picture is the seller picture, second picture as purchased. Edited 15 hours ago by Elwiscon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwiscon Posted 15 hours ago Author Share Posted 15 hours ago First mod… have mechanic install a 2.5” lift on it, among other repairs, truck sat on mechanics lot for a couple months (he was too busy to work on it). Picked it up and started working on it, first project: remove bed, clean undercarriage and raptorline it, and, while the tank was dropped, replace fuel pump, only pump i found was an amazon “a-prime” pump that worked but fuel level didn’t…later replaced with a proper MTS unit.
