Carburator linkage fell apart. Needs full resto. Body is in amazing condition. Do not have time to restore her. Would be best with a donor motor cause parts are hard to find. I like that the photo is taken in the carwash while it's on a hook.

http://virgin.craigslist.org/cto/5122469435.html Thinking about picking this up. I don't need a truck but drat it this one ticks a lot of of my boxes. i.e. manual trans, mild exhaust-only mods, extended cab and a camper top, etc. Anything I need to know about this generation of trucks?

Even the turbo IDIs had less torque than a modern gas job. They're also less fuel efficient than the powerstrokes.

It looks great, but yeah you'll be chewing through gas and for seven grand you can get a much better (and newer) Ford.

dissss posted:Wouldn't you be better off fixing whatever is causing that economy on your Dodge? Dodge trucks are notorious for being pigs on fuel. 9 is pretty low, but 11-13 mpg is pretty standard. Which is sad, because my old F350 4x4 with a 460 could eak out 13.

My old dodge 2500 van got 13mpg with a 5.2 and an old air filter and 15 with a new filter. I was driving 90 miles a day right after college in it to my first job and gas was $4.25 a gallon. New filter paid for itself in like a week flat. So glad I don't own that pile anymore.

If you can paint a car you can swap a motor into a B truck. Open hood, insert 13B, close hood. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 17:17 on Jul 26, 2015 |

Is there cancer underneath? How is that truck only worth 250? If he had the patience, he could probably get more than that parting out poo poo it doesn't need to roll, then still get scrap value for it.

If he had the patience, he could probably get more than that parting out poo poo it doesn't need to roll, then still get scrap value for it. That's crazy low, even in that condition. I was trying to find an 80's Mazda pickup for months and even the poo poo ones were still a couple of grand. Maybe it's just the south, but I can't find a small pickup with a four cylinder and manual trans for less than a few thousand. It's cheaper to be a late 90's Ranger than something from the 80's... blk posted:Good lord, I want this bad. Not the powder blue color I prefer them in but such low mileage, and if truly rust free...well, this would be the one to get. These pop up for under $5k in good shape routinely. I was considering one in Austin before I got that big Mercury, but I've already got three wagons. Still, it's one of the best looking cars Volvo has ever made.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Why don't you get something that you won't have to change the brakes on, multiple times per year. A bit confused here. Are F-250s known for abnormal brake wear? Haven't had many brake-related issues with the Durango... 3 brake jobs in the ~7 years I've owned it. Kind of a moot point anyway, as the seller never emailed me back. Off to search again.

To paraphrase a certain recently-disgraced comic actor - they go straight up and straight down No but I thought that driving on the USVI (particularly St.Thomas) was rough on brakes in general because of how hilly everything is. Most of the people I asked said they have to change their brakes annually. I figure, heavy vehicle = more brake wear, so why not look for something smaller. I guess down there beggars can't really be choosers. You don't have a whole lot to pick from in the first place.
