As I wrote in my intro, It's time to let her go. I've owned this truck since new. In fact, I special ordered it from the factory. It was a great truck for several years until a water pump failure blew the engine. Since then, I've held onto it hoping to get around to doing a V8 swap on it. Unfortunately, life got in the way and it never happened. Now, I'll be moving in the next few months and feel I won't have the time, energy or space for it anymore. It's currently "non-opped" and has been buried in my garage for almost 30 years serving as another shelf. I can't provide pics until I get some of the clutter around it cleared. I would really prefer to see it go to someone who who will revive it instead of sending it to the crusher. Here are some of the details.

It WAS a 2.9L V6 and 5 speed manual.
It has no engine or trans.
Super Cab
XLT trim
Blue interior with cloth split bench seat
Factory dual tanks
3.73 traction lok rear end.
Also has:
Stockland fiberglass shell
Penda-liner bed liner
15 inch aftermarket aluminum wheels

I also have a collection of parts that I've accumulated for this project. I'll post them for sale in the appropriate section at a later time. First, I want to see if there's interest in the truck. I've posted it for sale in the local Craigslist as well.

It sounds like it will make a great project truck for someone close enough to CA to get it.

For the last couple years or so, I've considered that option. I've searched here, Craigslist, all the Pick-A-Part websites south of Fresno, CA as well as Ebay but haven't found anything suitable.

Not sure what a "step deck" is, but it has wheels and could be rolled onto a trailer.

For some reason, I'm failing to figure out how to send a PM or start a "conversation" on this site. The truck is still available. PM me, if you can.

I created a new user group called 'Forum Member'. All of the members were in a group called 'Registered'. After making 10 posts, the user is automatically promoted from the user group 'Registered' to the user group 'Forum Member'. The user group Registered does not have permissions to send private messages to people, the user group 'Forum Member' does.

This is either going to work, or a bunch of people are about to get pissed off because their forum permissions aren't working right.
The OP will need to get to 10 posts before he/she/it can use the PM functions.

Thanks for the reminder. I forgot about that limit.
