I have a new to me 1980 pick up. Picked it up yesterday and am very happy with what I am starting with. Its a 1980 pick up with unknown lift, new 33 inch tires, high steer and a 2000 3.4 liter with auto tranny. Stock 4 cylinder transfer case.
Here it is next to my FJ on the drive back.
So over all this truck is in great shape. There is a check list of problems that need to be addressed.
1) the pitman arm hits the leaf spring under hard compression not sure if I should do bump stops or a flat pitman arm?
2) The transfer case is hard to get out of 4 low. The shifter moves but doesn't seem to catch anything?
3)The brakes go to the floor (they stop you but not really well_
Other than those 3 things everything functions great.
