Re: Why I like Older Trucks

I totally agree. I was sitting on the front fender to change spark plugs in mine. The only problem is that the new parts I buy have metric nuts and bolts. But if that's the only thing I run into I'll be ok. I love not having to dig out my torx or allen sockets or having to find some super specialized one time only tool to get things apart. Also, I've found parts to be much cheaper for my oldie. Did an oil change with good oil (not the cheap store brand) and tune up with good parts for less than $100 yesterday. On my last truck I did a tune up only and it cost me around $150
