Disclaimer: I have been driving stick on dirt roads since 8, first truck i ever drove was a 86 yota 22re 5 speed. dont hate, i aint gonna ruin the truck. I aint gonna squat it and put in LED strips and 25" wheels and all that crap. 15" looks good to me!
So I am 15, turning 16 march. My first truck is a 87 D50 my uncle gave me for my birthday. It has a blown gasket. It has ran hot over 5 times now (i have 3 receipts for head replacement and 1 for the gasket and my uncle blew a head too). I am in the process of swapping the motor out the 82 into the 87. it will be a simpler setup with WAY less vacum hoses and wiring. 215_75_15_street_tire_against_a_235_75_15_mud_tire.jpgengine_bay_3.jpgpassenger_floorboard.jpgFront_passenger_quarter_view.jpgFront_view.jpgpassenger_seat.jpgpassenger_seat_1.jpgwheel_offset.jpgpassenger_front_quarter_view_distant.jpgrear_view.jpgmikuni_280_carb.jpgengine_bay_2.jpgdriver_side_view.jpgdriver_side_door.jpgbed_and_top.jpgbrake_pads.jpgcabin_view_driver_side.jpgdash_cluster.jpgcargo_area_1.jpgcargo_area.jpgchristmas_stuff.jpgdriver_side_quarter_view.jpgengine_bay.jpgdriver_side_view_1.jpgfront_view_1.jpg
Both are POWER RAM 50 trucks, but i think the 87 is in sport or a custom trim due to the options it has on it.
It will be a 4G54/G54B engine with a Weber 38 38 syncromesh carb and an exhaust system with a reverse flow muffler and cat/egr/res delete. It will be paired to a KM145 transmission and a 1.944:1 transfer case, through to a 4.22:1 rear end on 235 75 15 tires mounted on 15x7.5 rims. it will be LEVELED in the front, so that it doesnt look like a 3rd world hot rod.
the door sticker says it weighs 4650 lbs, need help on that.
I cant retrieve the photos off my phone, so i emailed them to myself and took screenshots and cropped them all to size. they are attatched below.
