1983 RN46 . One owner truck. ( now 2 ) 135k Miles ( 220k Kilometres). Completely stock down to the radio, rims etc. Was only used to carry his paraglider at weekends.

Needs a real good clean. ( had to clean the dust of the speedo to see how fast,or slow, i was doing) .

I find the only time white lettering looks good out is with chrome wheels..

Oh wow, that is almost the exact color I'm looking at getting! It seems just about a spot on match for "coyote tan" to go with my marpat desert paint scheme.

And white out every time, ftw.

no, no, no... I'm all for white in on newer vehicles, but most people including myself throughout the 70's and early 80's rolled white out. These trucks fall right in that era and look. White out on Gen1's. my 2 cents.

Figure I'll take/find some better pics of my 80 that I picked up a little over a month back after I get this photobucket mobile figured out.
I've fallen in love with this little truck. Plan on keeping it fairly stock. Runs pretty good. Just working 34 years of little kinks and glitches outta it. The factory A/C still works.

Dang, I wish the interior of my 82 was that nice. The PO was a waterhead and he did tons of things I am still correcting. An example, he painted over the floorboards while they were caked in mud... the very reason they're now rusted through in a handful of spots! why? why do they do this?

Looks like when you are a previous owner of a first gen you have to be a dumbass, it's a must. My previous owner rebuilt the floorboards with fiberglass and newspaper....yes newspaper.

Edit: white letter out ftw! at least for these trucks
