Build story
It was my first car ever since joining the military, and it was a deathtrap as it was a joy to ride in. Had five different brands of tires that make most people jealous over, and a flat winter tire for a spare, the paint job is "Fact-Tree" custom as someone had rattle canned matte black over the once beautiful brown-gold paint, 97% of the badges were removed and subsequently stolen from my truck due to the lack of functioning locks. The front end was held up tighter than Ms. Lewinski from the Clinton Foundation, the front clip was held on by a single strip of metal that was already near snapping off, and the steering was like a drunkard on a Friday night. Most of the lighting works, if you hold it, the Bud Light switch held on enough to know that dayrunning lights were optional in that matter. Driveline is absolutely pristine, and dent-free from the 42 years worth of oil coated on the rails. As of 2019, the once-famed LA 318, A727 4-spd auto, and NP203 Transfer Case were stripped and sold (My biggest personal regret I have). I have spent these 3-4 years finding parts to restore her to her old-and-less-sketchy self once again, with a touch of upgrades and well demanded repairs.
