| 1981 j20
I picked this thing up from Craigslist last week. My dad and I drove it home from Chicago, 65 miles no problem. It came from Colorado in 01 and was kept in one lot as a plow truck. The paint is still on the frame. |

With cutting the plow off we will have to do some work on the frame. Have to fix the head light wires, The windshield is separating from the laminate and snowflaked So we went to the junkyard and got a windshield and bumper from this The bumper won't fit because the j20 has larger fender flares. New battery cables, will get a set of headers in the future. The frame 8 lug and almost new tires And what my dad got me on to make some money to buy a lift kit. |
