here's my $400 farm truck, it's spent it's whole life on a farm never seeing 50mph..

has a tiny bit of rust but that's expected on an 86..

here's what I started with..

motor needed the whole front end rebuilt, it leaked like crazy and the timing chain was noisey..



when I got it home it spit oil out the front of the timing cover like the Duke spitting Tobacco..

after opening her up this is what I found..

nice grooves..



after further inspection, I asked myself, hey self.. where's the guide??



so after pulling the pan there the guide was, guess it's giving tours of the oil pickup tube..

so after an order of a front end kit which should be here monday, I've got her tore down this far..



pretty clean for 203k on her..

so while I wait I decided to do some other work..

dropped her 3" all the way around..





after more work and and building..



had to get a wink mirror..

as she sits today, just waiting on wheels and tires, then I'll start the body work..

Nice project welcome to the site!

HOLY CRAP 203k and it never left the farm???? Thats a big farm.

it's more of a ranch, 1000's of acres..
