That has crossed my mind, but I only paid 3800 for the truck. The closest replacement I could find would cost upwards of $8K in my area, and I'd have to do a lot of what I've already done, again. It really is a great truck, but I knew (sort of) what I was getting into.
Kinda seems to me and in my experience that with what I don't pay up front, I end up paying over the years by being nickled & dimed to death chasing things down & repairing things... We got our current '89 cheap enough but gee, lets see... "New" used engine, rotors, rubber brake lines, calipers, pads, full rear brake job, fluid flushes, HVAC blend motor swap, cluster swap, alignment, driveshaft balance & u-joints, pitman arm, wiper motor and other little tiddley bits.
