Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. It's an 89' 3.0 V6 auto. As for the trim level, I'm not too sure. I'll get some pictures of the interior up and maybe that will give us a little more of a clue. This thing is a serious bastard child so I wouldn't be surprised if the wheels we're put on later in life. I know that the back door and drivers door are not original, so who knows what else went on while that repair was being made.

Is there an easy way to tell if it has the LSD? All the running gear is covering in oil/muck so any badging probably wouldn't help. This weekend I'm going to try and pull the belly/skid plates and get them ready to be sandblasted by a neighbor. Also going to start cleaning some of the front end metal. I took it out for a ride yesterday and noticed two more issues; the wipers decided to stop working, and there's a pin hole in the top of the rad that shoots steam like a teapot when the trucks warmed up. Guess a new rad is in the cards too.


So what do you guys think I should use for cleaning off and prepping some of this metal for rust inhibitor? I was thinking a strong wire brush and some sort of lube to soften the surface. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
