I figure the truck has 300k or more miles on it. I've put around 10k, but the odometer doesn't work.
The lifters are going bad, resulting in low power in 2nd gear.
Trannsmission leaks.
Rear main seal leaks.
Everything leaks.
Carberator needs to be rebuilt.
I love my old truck.
She's left me on the side of the road twice, both times the same problem and both times an easy fix (bad ignition coil).
She drinks oil and transmission fluid, but she runs smooth and strong (except when the lifters knock) and shifts right all the time.
Everything is where it should be on the dash.
Very easy to drive.
Obnoxiously loud, would never pass emmissions, and ugly as hell. Just the way I want it.
I disagree about these trucks being ugly (unless for whatever the reason you are referring to your "own" truck...i.e. its deterioration). Fact is, I love the way the old Dodge's look, and am so glad they kept that body style around into the 1990's. Too bad the old ones are starting to rust now.
