my old 82 fixer upper

[Oldschool82]

This is my old 82 swb. I got it for a song and dance about a year ago. Not moving quite as fast as I would like, but it's coming along. You know how it is when your a poor guy with a family to support. It'll get there one day!So,far I have done some interior work, took the hood and exchanged it for an all steel cowl (the one that was on it was a steel hood with a fiberglass scoop molded on it), I have also replaced about 90% of the brake equipment, all shocks, pitman arm,u-joints,front wheel bearings,all new tires, installed a stereo and did some cosmetics and clean up on the engine compartment and a few more small things. Not any thing major, just picking away at it.

Looks like a nice truck to start with. And it sounds like you are making smart progress on it. Keep at it. Most us have to take a while to get these things how we want them.

thanks...I have a few more pics I will add later...my lap top just got hit with some kind of virus and this desk top is just to old and slow to get much of anything done. I will get them on as soon as I can. Thanks for the reply!

Thanks here are a few more pics of things I have done to clean up the engine compartment and the interior. I have a pic of my redone door panels,my homemade dash trim and a before and after of progress on clean up efforts under the hood.

and here's a few more shots for the heck of it. One is just a bonus of my modded 2001 Camaro SS. Hope you truck guys don't mind me throwing that in.

I thought I already posted this....? any way, I leveled up my bed with the washers between the bed and frame trick. I also put a little black paint on my grille. There not really in the right order, but below are before and after pics of the bed and the grille.
