Thanks,
It's a 1981.
I have no intention of bobbing it.
The body is almost rust free.
Just planning on a winch, rock guards, re-gear, lockers and fixing what's broken or in need of replacement.
This is my fourth early 80's, including one Trekker.
I'll post them today.
I only plan on using for trails and plan to have it ready by next year's Chile Challenge.

I bought this truck for $1200 in 1991 with a destroyed 4 speed. I replaced it with a five speed and drove it all over NM/WTX for a few years.
I bought this Trekker in California for around $3500 in 1995 and used it as a daily driver for a few years.
This was bought around 2002 for $2500 with less than 90K on the clock. I don't think it was ever off road, and I regret selling it. I wasn't interested in building it up at the time, but now I have the resources, hence the renewed interest in my "newest" 1981 Toy.

A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly.

I warned you, but did you listen to me? Oh, no, you knew it all, didn’t you? Oh, it’s just a harmless little bunny, isn’t it? Well, it’s always the same. I always tell them
