hahaha really? dad's in NJ but i'm sure it's possible since not many J10s are out there. Yea he dipped it himself, looking to make it a side business with bedliner and his towing company. How much and how far back was this that you talked to him? He still has it to my memory but I knew he was saying he was going to list it recently.

Installed a new cooling fan shroud since it didn't have one when I bought it. And changed my spark plugs. These are honestly the worst I've personally seen, I would venture to say they were the originals with 158k miles on them.

If you can't tell from the oil on the top of the plug, the valve cover has been leaking for a while. Doing that next weekend along with throwing in some 784 injectors.

About two weeks ago. I just pulled up the ad, and the plates match. I was gonna drive four hours to look at it, but it took him almost a week to send me pictures lol. I ended up driving down to Richmond, VA to buy mine.

Sorry about that, surprised there weren't any pictures on the ad, he's very busy. But his has basically all the same things too, new brakes too. Happy you got one though, they're a blast to drive.

Honestly, the Plastidip is part of why I walked away. It's often used to hide rust, and I would've gone over every inch of the truck with a magnet before considering it. Looks like he did a good job, though. I hope he gets what he wants

Believe me, the only rust on it was some in the bed and I believe he fixed it. Here's some pictures before the dip. Worst part about it to me is the lack of rear bumper.

Had no heat in the '95 today. Did a quick backflush/flush of the heater core, followed by some compressed air to get the water out to not dilute my coolant too much. Hope the heat works now since my shoes are all wet.

...but i found they may be Illegal in WA. ~ok found it:
(2) Pursuant to Title 49 C.F.R. Part 571.108, the addition of an aftermarket style ornament or other feature such as tinted plastic glass covers, a grille or allotted covers must not be placed in front of the headlamp lens, or in front of any other lighting devices installed on motor vehicles which impair the effectiveness of lighting equipment required under 49 C.F.R. Part 571.108 (FMVSS 108) or chapter 46.37 RCW. Except:
(a) Clear aftermarket headlamp covers.
(b) Headlamp wipers may be used in front of the lens provided that the headlamp system is designed to conform to all applicable photometric requirements in 49 C.F.R. Part 571.108 (FMVSS 108) with the wiper stopped in any position in front of the lens.
I think i can get away with it

Hey me too... here's what it looks like with trimmed fenders...
Just so you're aware though, whether you trim or not, it's going to rub the sway bar and LCAs unless you get wheel spacers or aftermarket wheels with 4" or less of backspacing.
