Took the advice of @TotalyHucked and picked up a Tyger T1 soft tonneau for my crew cab. Real decent for $200 on the jungle site. They actually sent me two if anyone wants one on the cheap.

Is that an Olds 88 back there?

I don't believe you did. What happened to the old one and how many miles ended up on it?

It is an Oldsmobile with a big block, that's all the recon I got on that one. Was very clean looking.

The original motor had over 360K on it. It ran good but was really wore out. #7 cylinder was beat to hell from the AFM crap, as well as the valve train. Had a lot of blow by. Every time I replaced a leaking gasket another one would start to leak. 2 years ago the rear main started to leak and leak bad. I dealt with it long as I could. I didn't want to invest in repairing that with such a high mileage engine in the shape it was in.

It was my goal to replace the engine and keep this truck on the road since it was so rust free. It took me a while to get the money saved up. I could have went with a used motor, but I wanted something new that I can start off with a clean slate and keep serviced to my standards. Never had a brand new engine before. So this was kind of a bucket list thing as well.

I also have funding stashed away to replace the transmission when it decides to quit. Rear end and all suspension has been rebuilt. Should be a very reliable vehicle for quite a while for me.

Solid plan dude. Hopefully you can keep the rust away too.

My old daily driver was a 2014 Subaru XV Crosstrek...it was a great car and served me well. I live in the rustbelt so after 150,000 miles and 11 WNY winters with heavy road salt it was time to trade it in.
Picked up a 2025 Jeep Wrangler. 3.6L V6, 6spd Manual trans, 4.10 gears and rear locker.
