thats a little different. I still dont understand it all.

def. needs some chrome simulators. and it sure is clean.

what is the extra vaccum thing added under the hood?

wouldnt it be noisy with just that cap and thin crappy windows? I hate the sound of whistling air.

wonder whats in the boxes in the back? too bad there isnt some seats.

it would be kinda cool without the cap in the summer...... well probably in the winter too

Yeah I still dont know what to think.

Might be great in the winter in Orange County California .But in NY you'd have to put a pot bellied stove in back just to keep from freezing!It wouldn't matter where you were in the summer I don't think the engine AC would cool it! OK maybe on a snow capped moutain top.Truck is in nice shape tho.
How is the recovery coming ?

hehehehe I can rig some stacks on er all right, matter of fact, the way Id do em, would warm it up in the winter right quick too. lol

Im getting along, got arthritis in my clutch foot. Mosyt likely gotta have surgery on the heavy foot, ya'll dont wanna know the details, but bent bones n smashed joints, is enough to say. (still dont hurt though) left one on the other hand, well, I never knew arthritis hurt so bad!
But I still aint buying an automatic, im driving my Ford IDI with an auto and hate it.

As for what im looking for, Im shooting for the moon on this one, and i'll hitch hike to the left coast to drive it back. But, Im goin for an x-cab, 350, dually, 4x4, 5speed. LE is a huge plus, but not NEEDED. And only in that combination, less I get a screamin deal on a good condition one. And i mean under 2500 bucks. I keep my eye on a local one here, black non LE with 90K original miles the guy plan on getting rid of in the spring. And I plan on a getrag rebuild, do to GEAR oil in it, and 3 quarts at that. (had it rebuilt once already) I tryed to get him over here, same as i tryed to tell to get that gear oil out of it, but, no go.
Anyway, price is also no object on this one either. With the experience I had with the '93, id pay 15K for that combination with 500K original miles, a shot clutch, and rear end whine.
That was the BEST truck I have ever owned, or has even been on this property, and we got brandy new stuff.

I just havent had too much to say these days Ryan, I pop in to check the classifieds everyother day, and thats about it anymore. U get yer housing yet, hows them pipes commin?

If you're OK with a useless bed, I guess it's alright.
