Cool Bought a new truck! It hauls ***....

Okay, it would only haul *** if I had a donkey in the back of it

And, its not a "brand new" truck, but I did buy a temporary beater truck. I sold the GMC a few weeks ago, with plans to go out and purchase a brand new diesel truck. But, after talking with my mortgage company (having a house built right now), they said that wouldn't be wise to do. SO, I bought this 1994 Chevrolet 1500 longbed to use for work and parts chasing.

The truck is very clean, whoever owned it before took very good care of it. I only paid $2500 cash for it, its a 4.3L V6 5-speed, with 167K miles on it. Had it emissions test inspected last week and it passed very well.

I can't buy a new truck until June, when I am supposed to close on the mortgage. So, this is the temporary LS1TECH parts chaser. Probably the cleanest $2500 truck you will find around here!

Beater 3
Beater 4
Beater 5

Damn I miss my GMC

Time for an LS1 conversion. Then it would haul *** without the donkey. I don't think I could stand driving a V6.

This truck has no options, it actually moves pretty good (surprisingly) with the 4.3L.

Its about as bare-bones as a truck can get, doesn't even have factory A/C in it.

Tiburon, there are 5 red vehicles at my place, my woman has a red TransAm.

LOL, beater! You should've seen the Mazda B2200 I sold a few months ago. I swear if you looked at it cross-eyed it would fall apart. Nice truck though Tony!

Yeah really! I could use some Hotchkis sway bars and a Radix if you don't mind.

Let me know when it's time to get rid of it. It it gets better mileage than the Dodge, I may pick it up from you.

What MPG does it get anyway?
