Here's my '77 Scottsdale. 4" Rancho lift and 35x12.5 Federal Couragias. I hauled it out of a rockpit in Prineville, OR a year ago and it WAS it pretty bad shape... To get to this point has been quite a process!

Thanks! I actually got the idea for the grill from a thread over on pirate4x4. It turned out better than I thought it would!

It's cool because the round light match the headlights, not on mine if I tried that, you got one up on me.:lol:

Mud man, how do you like those Carr super hoop steps? (If that is what they are) I'm thinking about getting some and I think I like the wider style step more.

mud.man.rj 03-31-2014 11:23 PM

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 
The steps are great, had some other simular ones on my 79 Bronco I had a few years ago and were just to narrow, as you mentioned the extra width is great, especially since I use the truck in the winter and wear my big boots.

cajondrummer89 03-31-2014 11:24 PM

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 
Whoops... double post haha Good to know! I LOVE the wide step!

Btw, Your truck is by FAR one of my favorites! Great job!

Thanks on liking mine, yours has the stealthy look to it, like not sure what to expect, must be a small block having a 600cfm carb right, just guessing. Looks very usable the truck.

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 
Haha I guess it is kinda stealthy! Somethin tells me it won't be sneakin up on anyone though haha

Yeah it's a 350. I'm trying to keep my eyes open for a good pre 87 block to build a 383 for it though. I'd love to drop a big block in but I just can't afford it.

But then there's other things Id like to do as well, like an air locker, np205 with twin sticks, and 4 wheel discs... But I guess time (and money) will hopefully supply those dreams haha

Re: How about some pics of 73-87 Long Beds?
 
Nothing wrong with a 350 but a 383 is a lot nicer, wish I had air lockers, have full time lockers so some difficulty is steering but oh well, at least I have them.

I bought this truck with no wheels, axles in the dirt, no windows, no interior, it had been sitting for years.

I could see potential in it and, gave him four bills for it.

That was about 8 years ago.

Its been my work/play/hunting truck ever since. I drive it every day.

1985 Scottsdale 1/2 ton, 4" rough country lift, Built 350, Rebuilt 350 turbo trans, 33x10.5xR15 Firestone Destination MT, Trail Fire Flat Bed.

I wanted to share this local Utah truck. Cummins with around 500 HP. I believe the owner lost interest and ended up parting it out a year or two ago.

Those g-d D*dge mirrors...every trailerless/camperless/loadless truck I see with those mirrors up make me pray for a narrow drive-through in their future.
