Default 1981 j20

I picked this thing up from Craigslist last week. My dad and I drove it home from Chicago, 65 miles no problem. Name:  ImageUploadedByTapatalk1372968403.006027.jpg

It came from Colorado in 01 and was kept in one lot as a plow truck. The paint is still on the frame.

The bumper won't fit because the j20 has larger fender flares.
New battery cables, will get a set of headers in the future.
