    Restoring back on road, this month!
    Hey group,
    Just pulled this old 1985 22re 4x4 that’s hasn’t been running 2011 into the shop.
    My dad bought this thing in 1991, it’s the cream colored with the orange top style, lots of great memories in this truck.

    Got it fired up with out fuel, ordered about $1500 in parts for the undercarriage, everything brake related all rubber hoses, calipers rotors, brake cylinders, slave, cylinders, fuel pump, raditor ect…
    Need to fix the driver side floor pan put some new vinyl in there, stick and 30” x 9 1/2 x 15” tires on it, with the very simple stock look with a bigger size tire.


    I need a complete driver side floor pan. Thought suggestions? I found a short one, but I need the one with the seat bracket.

    someone has a brown dashboard that would be great? Any ideas possibly how to convert this to air-conditioning down the road would be cool..
    Here’s some before, and after pictures, after we cleaned it up and blasted the frame, Got If you rust patches fixed on the frame to tighten it up.

    Thanks
