i am in clagary and i need a new truck one from 1995 to1998 i have 10 000 ish to spend what is the changes i will get a good truck for that price ???? and what r the autos like in these trucks ???? i have always been a standard guy but pushing the clutch in the city sucks lol


i would like a long box extra cab ,, but if a nice truck not like that come upi would buy it

 

The auto's are fine until you add more power then you will start slipping the TC.A shift kit will help a bit by increasing the pressures but sooner than late you will need a TC.You should be ableto find something decent in a second gen for that money i would think.

 

You should be able to find an older rig pretty easy for that price. If you can deal witha 2wd, they are usually a good bit cheaper than the 4bys.

 

found a 1995 club cab 4x4 auto with 290 000 for $3100 drives nice running down the road good . a bit of rust but i will paint her. trany shifts good engine runs good too... good deal i think

 

If you buy the truck, you might have to get a Tater tune-up on it. Take some pics and post them if you buy it. I all ways like looking at the older trucks. Happy hunting. We had a good turnout of the older trucks at the Red Deer met.

 

this is the truck i bought. it a 1995 cummins auto 253000km on it. runs good , drives run . need a bit of body work but in good shape ... i payed 3100 for it what u guys think .. good deal ????????????????and its 4x4

 

Wow, sounds like a good deal to me! I've got more Km's than that!

 

thats why i bought it lol

 

Nice buy. Looks like a sweet ride. Is it a 4X4? I think mine has more rust in it that your truck and I paid a wee bit more than you.

 

That looks good, I would say that is a great deal!! Mike it is a 4x4 you can see the differential if you expand the pic

Kev, you have a better eye than me. Thanks. Nice ride. So when does the tweaking start?

 

so soon as i can get some one help me with the timing . and i am a 3000rpm spring , then fuel plate . exhaust 5inch ,bd manfold and injectors , then turbo .. then trany lol. but first i need gauges . i am going to be driving this truck every 500km so i need the best mileage i can get out of her

 

the only realbad spots for rust are the wheel wells .. both sides on the back need some love but easy to fix ,,, and i was in the right place at the right time .i stayed home from work wasn't feeling good and i was looking for a truck and i refreshed the page on kijiji and they it was , i was the first person to call him . and he said it was only 30 seconds after he placed the ad lol.. so the day off work saved me alot more then i lost

 

Good scoop wink

 

Wink, Trust me that corvette owner like being smoked out by a rusty rig I would fix the rust later on. At least you can still use it as a truck, not a show boat.
