that clunk is very normal for the old trucks. i think if you start the truck in neutral it will not clunk as bad if at all. i guess you should also check the fluid levels. i would guess the key cylinder is getting a bit old and gummed up. i don't know if you can oil them without taking them out. i don't think it is too hard of a job. just a bit more time consuming.

I know that a little bit of a clunk is normal but this is a jolting type thing that sounds real rough.. I ordered a new ignition cylinder for it so that is taken care of. The key snapped off on the inside so there was nothing else I could really do about it.. Its gonna be getting an oil change and tune up soon.. Anyway onto the pictures...

Haha yea the yard and driveway are just about full now so no more toys for a while. It needs a good wash that's for sure. Can't beat the price.. I feel kinda bad that I stole it from the guy. I only paid 900 for it.. gdstock why don't you come do the body work and paint it
