#1 Classic 4x4
I replaced the quarter panels, rocker panels, cab corners, and wheel wells do to rust and rot.
I love it, It's my first car and defiantly a head turner. Handles great on and off the road. Plenty of power and is great if you live up North like me in snow country.

Like a rock
This truck is excellent. I purchased this truck in '85 right out of the showroom, and since then the only thing that has broke was the rear u-joint.
This truck is awesome, plain and simple. There are 11 grease fittings on it that have been greased once since 1985 and they were greased in 2001.
I first got it non-boosted, but threw a Banks Sidewinder turbo kit on it with all of the upgrades and I can out-haul a lot of 1 tonne trucks and out-perform a lot of todays sports cars.
The only thing that's worth mentioning about the interior is that the dash has a little crack in it. But hey, they all do.

The 6.2L diesel was OK when it came to power and was a little better with a turbo, but even with a turbo the power is still by no means nothing to brag about let alone say your faster then some sports cars. Honestly I would be extremley surprised if you could even keep up with a new 4 cylinder car. Don't get me wrong I love the 6.2 diesel, but it's no powerhouse that's for sure.

It's great, I owned my 85 forever now, and it's never left me stranded. Went mudding, snow climbing and a lot of burnouts. The only way they rust out bad is if you don't wash the sand and salt off the truck. Salt will eat metal.
