Finally got my 84 back home and got some time to start tearing it apart. I have been ordering parts for the engine to beef it up some. I got the bed off the frame, drive shaft out, and gas tank off. This weekend I cut the frame down to a short bed. Next on the list is to start installing all of these parts I have and to box the frame and pretty sure Im going to fabricate a tubular X brace under the truck. Then its on to the suspension and getting it low and handling right. On to some pics.
When I got it back home.
