well after searching for about two months i finally bought an 80.

I was looking through some posts and swa Airlaid's post about his 80
https://forum.ih8mud.com/80-series-tech/354227-just-reaching-puberty-my-95-a.html

I got in touch with him and we put a deal together, I bought the truck sight unseen and could not be happier with the truck. Airlaid is a standup guy, it was nice to buy a car and have it be such a smooth experience. wow did he take care of this LC.. below is the list of mods he has done. Airlaird had also kept really nice service records for the truck. ive put 450 miles on it so far and its a great rig I love it .... thanks again Airlaird your the man:beer:

( I have receipts for the 90,000 miles checkup which included:
(Total Knuckle job…referred to as birfields). This is an item that is costly and needed. I had this done with all new seals etc.
(Installed a PHH (Pesky heater hose)
(New In-line fuel filter). There is absolutely nothing as far as maintenance needed on this truck….except an alignment
In Addition. I have done the “Blue Clutch Mod. For a much colder A/C
I have installed an Aux 12” in front of the Radiator for better cooling.
