I think mine was an ‘86. It was a long time ago - bought it used. I removed the cracked and faded graphics and had it repainted (same original colour), rebuilt the head (tiny head gasket leak) and it served me well for quite a while.That was my dads truck a 1987 Power Ram 5 speed manual. It does have some rust but in pretty decent shape otherwise. I drove it a few times to work in real cold weather with snow on and was unable to get all the salt off in time before it made rust.
Your truck looks real good shape as they are good trucks.

It was a solid small truck that met all my needs at the time but man, it sure struggled getting over the mountain passes between Vancouver and the British Columbia interior. Manual everything - windows, door locks, transmission, 4WD, locking hubs. It really was a good truck.
I traded it in on a Ranger and have driven Rangers ever since.
