Well a few weeks ago my 96 was stolen, beat to hell, and left. I got it back with a broken windshield, a burnt out clutch, flat tire, rear end is done for and they stole the stereo and a stanley ratchet set. Of course i only have liability so insurance wont cover it. Good news is a just bought an 87 XLT today, 2.9L 4x4 5 speed. Body style iv always wanted. Its in very good shape for the year with minimal rust, and less miles than my 96, 205k compared to 250k. For $900 I couldnt pass it up. It does need a u-joint in the rear shaft, had to put it in 4x4 basically front wheel drive to get it home, not even half a mile away. Runs great. Really the only things im not a fan of is the shifter, i like the one in my 96 way better and the seat doesnt quite come up to where i would like it too, im about 5'9 5'10. Probably gonna put some bucket seats in anyway. Il get to more later and get a few more pics.

You might be able to put some of the 96 parts in your new truck. Like the seats.

Either way..looks good man! I like it!
 
Sold the 96 today. I just put a folded up blanket inbetween the seat and seat cover, puts me right where i want and is pretty comfortable. Free fix for now i guess lol
