1987 Western Hauler.
Here is my 1987 Western Hauler. 454 & TBI. I bought it off CL about 3 hours from my house about 18 months ago. Was a old mans truck who died a few years before. I made a mistake in borrowing a Ford to tow it home, but I had to have it. Plastic fan broke and put a hole in the radiator. Bought 25 gallons of water from walmart to limp it back home. I believe it has sat 10 years or so.
I have decided to make this my new pull rig. I bought a 22' 8 lug car trailer and my 87' 3/4 ton 350 doesn't seem to like to pull it, so this is its replacement. I was going to leave the running boards on but.....I am 6'3" and I just trip over them. I am not touching the paint or body at all. I have some used 16" Alcoas for it. I am not lowering or putting semi's on it. 235/85/16's and make it run good.

Re: 1987 Western Hauler.
I pulled the tanks and they are toast! Here is one of the fuel pumps.
Yuck!!! I got a new tank and pump in this week.
