re: #154 darthstar
Depends on some practical issues:
— Straight 6 or V8?; has bearing on gas mileage and towing cap.
— Time since last overhaul of motor
— Manual or auto? (I’m guessing manual); does the missus like driving manual?
— three on the tree or four on the floor? See above.
— Time since last trans overhaul
— Rust?
— Suspension/steering: in good shape, or needing major work?
If it’s mechanically sound, and you’re both in agreement, then buy the sucker. It’s a good looking truck. Just don’t send me any repair bills.
