Is that really a 4x4 piece of wood under the rear spring.
On the plus side, The Kaiser dash with AMC steering wheel and pedals doesn't look bad.
If the lift is the only fault, it's easily corrected with proper lift springs.

if it wasn't so high priced i would love to have that truck.... just needs suspension work as he said, looks like he might be trying to be somewhat honest

Looked at CL lately? Lot of FSJ junk in your neck of the woods. Saw a '63 J200 for $200 and several fairly decent J-trucks.

dad would be rather upset if i stuck another truck in his driveway. 3 is enough for him. my bed is in almost perfect shape except where it kissed a pole by the PO. i need to find someone willing to let me buy just that section of bed and replace my bent up piece. you can see the scrape here.

I just realized too it's a shortbed. Don't know if you need all the way to the flare or not. There's an '81 longbed in the yard too.

no i dont need all the way to the flare i would probably cut the replacement piece at the flare though to give a bit more material to play with

its in ellijay, ga...sad thing about it is you could drive that down the highway around here and it wouldnt matter....theres no form of inspections at all...so i guess if it'll move under its own power, its good enough. he does say it needs suspension work....at least he pointed it out
