The Beasts...
She sure is a tank. No floorboards worth mentioning, gas tank is held up by a ratchet strap, the doors are all rusted and the interior is totally shot...but she runs like a raped ape. You guys weren't kidding when you referred to the 89 as the hot rod of the gen 1 world. This guy must have the pump maxed, because she rolls the coal like I've never seen and pegs the 30 PSI boost gauge and keeps pulling hard.
I also pulled this guy home this weekend:

Sent you a PM regarding leftovers.
Startin to look like my house. You have officially been bitten by the first gen bug. Next you'll be buying a parts truck for the dually and so on. it's very addictive. The junkers always run the best. The ol 89's had bigger injectors and they do run.

Man, I would keep that 89 and run it untill you find a worse condition truck for a tranny swap! Heck of a work truck!
Is that a bypass oil system on your blue truck?

Guys he said the floors are gone, thats a big deal....unless you use street signs. Easy fix then. Sheemetal screws work good too.
In all seriousness.....he's using an old beat out of commision 1st gen to make a GOOD 1st gen into an AWESOME 1st gen
i REALLY like that green/silver combo, i wonder if its factory!!
