RE: Finally got my own toy, now here comes the pain
Welcome to the club! Wow, that project will take a lot of work. If your truck came out of that big batch of USMC trucks that were auctioned off in Riverside, CA and Atlanta, GA back in 1999 or so, then my guess is that it's most likely a 1985-1987 truck.
Even with all of the dataplates removed, there's a body number stamped on the reinforcing ridge that runs across the firewall inside the engine compartment, right in front of the driver's position. It might be hard to find under the paint. It could help you guess at the year of manufacture, and you might choose to use it as the VIN when establishing new title and getting it registered (I'm guessing that your truck hasn't been registered before).
Good luck!

I have a brand new fan shroud. $100 with shipping to you. shipping will be a lot bc it's big and bulky.
as I'm sure you have seen, a lot of what your looking for is on ebay right now. good luck with your project and be prepared it's not going to be cheap.

steve is a great guy to deal with and i have had nothing but great service with him, he also has built HMMWV from the ground up and they looked perfect, he has a bunch of parts for sale as well
Thanks for all the great info. I got the truck from a guy in Jersey for about 5600, shipped. I would load pix but am not sure how to put them inline like the rest of you do. Somebody tell me how? Cut and paste doesnt work. I am gonna be hunting parts forever, paying as fast as I can afford on a teacher's salary. My auto shop students gonna have a ball once I get rolling, though.
