I was under the impression that the cotter pin clamps were only installed at the factory. How did you tighten it?

Keep looking. Plenty of clean non damaged 80s out here in Colorado.

I’d just pass on the truck. How much electrical damage will you run into with all the mice living in it? Anything is possible but putting an earlier style dash in a late model 80 is not practical.

Flush and refill coolant as others have described. X4 on using a Toyota thermostat and water pump.

Nope.

all depends on how deep you wallet is and your emotional attachment to the rig.

It's like Cruiser Dan said many years ago. An expensive SUV doesn't get cheaper with time. The cost of ownership can be steep with these rigs at times.

All original clean 80s will continue to increase in value. It’s up to 15,500. Faded paint, cracked dash? Classy wood stick to hold up the hood.

I’d keep that truck 100% oem down to the floor mats and radio. If prices for 40 and 60 series have shown me anything it’s that the pristine all original and unmodified trucks will command the highest price over the next 10 years.

Time capsule. Very nice. Congrats.

Yes they did. Our new 1994 had them. Michelin LTX I believe.
