The week after I got the truck the tread fell off the tires. It only cost me $270 to put a new set of rubber on.
The throttle linkage had to be adjusted as soon as I bought it, it would idle really hard. The temperature sensor went out within the first 500 miles. This caused the engine to overheat. The distributor was destroyed and a few parts had to be replaced.
This was the first vehicle I bought, my two criteria were cost and usefulness. It has great pick up and go, I race all sorts of cars, which would explain the repairs.
It is a great beginner vehicle at a low starting cost and minimal repair costs.
I have the same kind of truck, bought it when it was six years old, had high mileage, it has been the best, I love my truck! It can still, in it's old age, beat anyone.wish I could find a brand new one, I need to do a lot of general age related repairs on it, but it runs good anyway.
I also have the same truck I however bought it at 17 years old best thousand dollars I've ever spent its now twenty years old a classic.
