General comments?
This truck was a family vehicle purchased by my father in I believe 1995. It was used for odds and ends things around our house as well as errand running. In the past year and a half I used it as a work vehicle to deliver lawn mowers and other power equipment for my work. Often I pulled a trailer with it. It even pulled a 12x6 trailer like a trooper. Never any signs of giving up. I grew up with it and learned to work on it. It was an incredible vehicle in every aspect aside from the typical corrosion associated with older import vehicles. The bed was rusting away on it quickly. It was just sold 2-3 months ago and replaced with a '99 fully loaded Frontier. I miss it and would take it over the Frontier any day. The Frontier doesn't possess half the quality of the Hardbody.
