salans7 Posted August 19, 2020 Share Posted August 19, 2020 Looks ready to work! Hard to see for sure, but it looks to be a later 81 as it doesn't seem to have the swiss cheese frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that’s the correct one. I didn't realize that they did away with the Swiss cheese frame during '81. I thought it was between '81 and '82. But it doesn't look like this one has the holes, so I guess Shaun's right. Dane - I don't think the VIN would tell us anything. The build date would help us understand when the change happened though. We have the info from both Rusty and Dad's truck, and several others I'm sure that might help us figure it out.

I based my information upon my memory of a possible poll over on FTE where I thought folks chimed in with late 81s who did not have swiss cheese frames. But that's an old memory and may not be correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
