City by the Bay

I've been lurking around here for a month or so now.
I guess it's about time I posted something.
Recently I inherited my dads 91.
The things a beast driving around the streets of San Francisco.
My friend called it a "hippy crusher" I liked that.
The truck itself is bone stock except for some wheels, shell, and paint.
My dad just retired and has spent his entire professional career as a diesel mechanic so even though it has 327,000 miles it in great shape.
Of course the starter died on my a few days ago, and it's stuck in my driveway right now, but I should have the rectified tomorrow.

Figure with all the hills out there you'd be eating alot of brakes. Always liked the looks of the old battle wagons... Congrats on the new/old truck.

It's not so bad. The truck will mainly be used to haul my race bike to the track.
Probably not more than 12,000 mile a year at most.
Yeah total battle wagon, it's all black too.
I plan on experimenting with some bio-diesel at some point.
Either that or some WMO just to **** off the hippies

Welcome to the DTR. Before you replace your starter have you checked the contacts inside the starter? These wear out usually before the starter.http://http://www.genosgarage.com/pr...umber=LB-R90SS
