1987 Suzuki Samurai Additional Info:

This is a truly, one of a kind 1987 Suzuki Samurai "Truck" with automatic transmission and Toyota axles. I started this build a few years ago and do not have the time to finish or use it. I've driven it about 200 miles "back and forth to the ballpark" since I put it together. All it needs is the doors and tailgate painted to be 100% done. If you have any questions, please email me at kkamlade at att dot net. I have clear title in hand. Details are listed below:
