Great find!
Too bad a previous owner changed out your grill. I'm kinda partial to the '83-'84 grill. All in all, looks pretty clean.

Cool find. Can't believe its an 83 and has 90k miles on it. Wow! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> By the sounds of your other thread, you are going at it the right way. Good luck, and keep us updated! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

Nice, its great looking at the origin of the little details that make these rigs so sweet.

And you qualify for historic vehicle tags.

The interior shot, engine bay, and rear driprails would indicate, at the earliest, an '86 model when combined. The exhaust manifold is the type used for the feedback barb. The rear drip rails on the 83/84 tubs did not connect above the rear door. The center console is later, too. Early models did not have the armrest before 86. The rear bumper, too, is after 85. Still, could have been wrecked and rebuilt with a later tub? Doesn't matter, it has manual hubs and the stainless mirrors. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

you are right i was mistaken. When i bought it the guy said it was an 83 and I didnt bother to really check it out. Then underhood tag say its an 87 and the door jamb says it was born 06/1986
