A little late making this but better than never. I got my 80 in August last year and it was all stock and dirty when I picked it up but it had the magic dial.
PO's idea of cleaning it out included grabbing his open pack of cigarettes and some half empty bags of sand blasting media from the back, he left the empty ones for me.
First big mod was my J front, heavy rear lift.
Next big project was bedlining the outside. 8-9 hours of sanding and prep work to get to this point.
But it was worth it to get this result.
Now my current project is building a sleeping platform with a pull out drawer. Todays progress was getting the plywood cut to the basic size I need it to be. Tomorrow I'll profile the left and right sides so it fits in the truck and hopefully mount the plywood to the frame. I'm going mount the frame to the old 3rd row seat mount points in the floor. The extra vertical pieces on the left and right sides are for mounting my heavy duty drawer sliders, they are rated to hold just under 400 pounds for the size drawer I'm going to build. The frame is 44" wide, 42" deep and 10" high, the plywood top is 59" wide and 42" deep.
