Hi all! I’m new here.
I just bought an ‘80 Sunrader and I’m having all sorts of trouble finding a manual or any sort of relevant info. The thing is a frankenstein for sure. It’s a flatbed conversion, with a non-dually 5-lug rear. Got a 21r with 70k which I believe was swapped in in the early 2000s.
My plan is to rebuild the flatbed and build a hoop house on top (bent wood battens sheathed in ply and fiberglassed). I’ll bend up some steel sheet for a doghouse over the cab and weld it to the roof. The idea is to have a pass through work van!
Right now I’m doing little maintenance things, working on deleting all emissions and most vac lines, and I have a new Weber carb on the way. I’m wary of going any further with the improvements until I have a factory service manual though. Any resources would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Rowan

Thanks Fred, I appreciate your reply. Wasn’t really sure if Sunraders were built on a different chassis than a regular PU (besides extended bed), but your answer clears it up.
I was a bit wary of buying haynes or chiltons because I consulted both of them for my 91 camry and the wiring diagrams were different between the two editions. But if it’s worked for you I’m just gonna go for it!
