It's a bit of a project, but it's mostly just cosmetic. Clearcoat on the hood, roof and flares is peeling. Carpets aren't great. Front seats leather is torn. Minor dings consistent with age. Valve cover leaks a little and the distributor O-ring leaks a little. Front axle is due for complete service. None of that is too serious and I'll address that stuff pretty quickly once I've got the truck.
Immediate plans are to swap over bumpers, armor, suspension and tires from my '93. That includes, OME J springs, L shocks, adjustable panhards, caster plates, sway bar drops, ARB front bumper, Wildyoats rear bumper, TG sliders, and 315's. Then address the peeling paint. I also have a line on some "new" front seats that came out of a low mileage '97 anniversary edition truck that are in good shape with no tears in the leather. Those will likely get swapped in the same day of purchase. I'm in the process of getting a roofrack designed and built by Zscott that I think it going to be fantastic and that will carry my RTT. Should be in great shape at that point. I'm really looking forward to being back in an 80.
Here's my old 80 to give you an idea what stuff will come off of it.

Little background on this. My 1993 has over 300K miles on it. It has been parked for the last 2+ years because of some electrical issues that I haven't had time to sort out. As we got looking into fixing the '93 the electrical issues are probably easily addressed, but the motor still has over 300K miles on it and I would have it rebuilt to get it to be as reliable as I need it to be. So as we considered that cost it was more economical to find a "new" 80 with reasonable miles that I could swap my mods over to. That is what led us to this decision. Also, I will either sell off the '93 as is once the items are swapped over or part it out and will recoup some of the purchase cost of the new truck. So it should be a pretty cheap way for me to get back into a built and fully functional 80 series. I'm extremely excited about it.
