The story

Truck started out as an 81 Shortbox 4x4... bought an 85 long box 4x2 as the body from the 81 fell apart... Did the body/frame swap. Added a custom bracket to mount the clutch slave cylinder as the 351M never came with a hydraulic clutch. Custom home brew winch bumper on the front. — houdini_1980
