82 SR5 build

Getting back to the good old forums days with this final version on my mini truck build.

Story is I left a note on this truck 18 years ago asking to purchase. The next day I got a call saying the owner was planning to trade it in for $2500. I offered him $2600 and we had a deal.

I sure hope it's gonna stay this beautiful!

Fast forward to 2022 and the truck has a 3.0 turbo six, Marlin duals and the usual mini truck stuff.

Looking forward to going in depth with everything throughout the truck this winter. Here it is currently. Ready to pull the cab and finish some welding on the front frame. Thanks for lookin.

Very nicely done. Would you share your axle build and are those 15inch TR beadlocks and 42 IROC's?? Thanks.
