    About to weeks ago I picked up a 12v. Truck needs some serious TLC. It seems mechanically sound. Everything is stock. Not bad for trading an old horse trailer for it. Had to drive 6 hours to pick it up but made it a great road trip with some of the guys. Here are some pics.

    Thanks to Jim, Adrian, and Chris for the help.

    So far I had the sets re-upholstered and fixed the A/C. I also added tints to it.

    Amazing what just doing the seats can do!

    Looks like a solid platform for a build, should treat ya pretty good.

    Looks like a '95. Nice!, I have the same, with 315,000 clocked. Are the seats from those pesky naugahydes ?. Think I'll try that, the cloth on mine has been replaced twice now, and yours looks really great ! I also put a heavy upholstery type roof liner in, and it holds up great, 6 years now, and no sagging yet. Also, is that the 6 way power drivers seat I spy ? Looking for the travel rack from that, hard to find, but my motors are good, just the plastic screw augers are shot on one side.

    They are power seats. The only issue I have with them is that they only go up and down. The plastic screw augers are shot in mine as well. Wish I could find where to buys these.

    I was quoted $200.00 from a junk yard here, but still looking. Both your fwd/back screws are gone? Must have been a heavy dude previous, and I weigh 250lbs.
