rhdvert Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 My grandfather (now deceased) bought his 86 720 new form the dealership. It was a farm/work truck since day1! I have great memories of riding in it as a kid, slammed full of tools there was barely enough room for me to sit. He finally passed it on to my cousin, who drove it for years and then passed it to me. While deployed in Kuwait my other cousin stole it form me (tricked my POA to give him the title). After 7 years of being pissed off and ultimately hating my cousin, he returned it. I actually just got it back on the 16th (my birthday). Truck has 314K miles and still runs great! I have decided to give it a little love and do some minor mods. Lowering, rare SSR wheels, dual 45 DCOE Weber carbs, ect. ect..... Here are some pics Btw, name is Joe and this is my intro....

rhdvert Posted March 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2013 Thanks guys! Just went to the junk yard today and found some treasures!!!! Completes dash with NO cracks (mint condition) Gauge cluster with clock and tach (mine did not have clock or tach) under dash parcel tray gauge bezel dash even had a mint period correct Clarion tape deck (FRESH!!!) Got a ww fluid jug (mine was cracked all to hell) $50 for everything!!!!! There was also a set of chrome (steel I think) wheels. I didnt get a pic cause my phone died. Thinking about picking them up tomorrow if the price is right. Nothing fancy but look different than most wheels I've seen. Quote Link to comment
