well, sorry to say this one was built in 9 of 1999 so it is an early one... Dude... Why don't you come over and let me drive yours around... I can't stand not being able to drive my truck...

hahaha

you can drive it backwards...lol

 

LOL, you would love it with them 1.7's in there wouldn't you? And we could drive foward to pick up the pizza,

 

living next to a pizza shop has it's benefits... and it's downside... THe smell in the summer, I'm broke all the time.. all I do is spend money... In the winter, the windows are all closed, so it isn't as bad... Plus the smell doesn't travel as well in the cold...

I'm from Long Island,NY and I love pizza and it's aroma, Living in NH now, most of the pizza places suck, but I still wouldn't mind being in walking distance of one, LOL.

 

Looks like a nice lil truck to tinker with Jim. I hope you are ridin soon

 

Wow man nice truck, inside looks great. Will be nice once you can drive it. Have you started working on your tranny? If so hows it going?

 

dont mean to hijack, but how do you do your pics like that? as youve seen in my thread, mine are rather HUGE.......hate to hear about your ford...love my 78

 

I have my own webhosting, so I make thumbnail size pics, and large pics.. upload both, and then post the thumbs, and link them to the large..

If you need help let me know, I can help ya, and even host em for ya. Or you can use photobucket, and do the same..

on the Ford, I had a 79, that needed front end work, and the bed was so rusted, if I had anything heavy in it, it would actually cut off the fuel by compressing the line, I traded it straight up for a 80 Mercedes Benz, the guy thought the motor was blown, but all it was was the throttle linkage was on a bind, fixed it, and it ran great.. Till some kids busted the windshield on it.. Then I traded it for a years worth of lawn care services.. Got the 70 for free, started restoring it.. And had it looking REAL nice, and lots of money in parts.. then it was stolen, Now I get the dodge, and the tranny blew up.. My wife thinks I'm not supposed to have a truck..

As for the tranny, I got a guy going to do it for me, I decided that was the best way to go, so If something happens I have a warranty, and his price is excellent.. and he's going to fix the exhaust and replace the oil pump and shaft, all for $1200

Anyway, that will make a total of $3400 in this truck, that's initial cost and repair.. I paid $2200 out the door, for it, and now $1200 for repair.. book on this truck is around $4000 so not a bad deal....
