Sweet. I loved all of the ForeSkinners I've had.
Super narrow body makes for easier woods passage, and the wheelbase is not really long enough to high center it all that often. Although I have done it...

Does it still have the 22r? Or has it been fit with a Chevy small block?

Negative. I've been searching for one of those, with no luck!

Mine is a 22RE, I wouldn't have a V6. You can still buy a reman'd motor with a 48K mile warranty for 1500 bucks and a half day's labor to swap it out. Mine has 231K on it and runs great.
Trying to hot rod these trucks by overpowering them is suicide as far as I'm concerned.

Nice find. Around here they are solid gold in price and almost every one you find is wrinkled up and has been romped in the mud and over rocks by teenagers who don't know what they're doing and still sell for 4K or more. I looked for 2 years for my most recent one.

No kidding. I wanted to get a 98 era for my wife. Everywhere I went I saw 6-8k

I recently got a 4K dollar offer on my 93 from some guy at the feed store. I paid 2450 for it from the original owner. It's all original and un-modified. It'd take me too long to find another good example. I said no. My old 86 is still running around. I see it now and then. It had nearly 400K miles on it when I let it go about 10 years ago.
