that's kinda exciting!
you don't mind driving a 4 banger??
I almost traded my Grand Prix for a 4 banger last summer, but, it was a stock regular cab. It actually had pretty good pick up for what it was and with the 4 cylinder, it can actually achieve mid 20 MPG's.
If this truck is what the owner says it is, it will make for a decent driver/project when I am not working on my Square this summer. The bed isn't notched so I can still carry stuff, too.
Besides, with what is going on in the Middle East these days, gas is going to SUCK next summer. With this truck, I would still be able to afford fuel and drive a truck at the same time. That, in itself, is a double bonus right there.
An additional bonus, it will give me something new to learn. Right now, the truck has an electric compressor, the valves, and the tank, all in the extended cab portion of the cab. I would like to learn how to put all of that else where in the truck. I am thinking of maybe a small diamond plate box attached to the passenger side frame rail would be a decent location for everything but the tank.
As much as I like the bigger trucks, the smaller ones are usually cheaper and easier to work on.
