Re: Calling all Base Model/ "Plain Jane" Truck Owners
I'm lovin' this thread. Look at my sig and you can see why - most of my stuff is one color, manual everything, and no radio even. Less crap to break at 200, 000 miles which is the minimum expected life for my vehicles.
What's with all the 2 tone paint on low level trucks?
On my 81 it has ONE 'sport' (base) mirror, drivers side only. The 77 at least has 2, and the 82 has painted dumbos. The 81 has a painted bumper, no rear bumper, no spare tire, 3OTT, manual steering, 250 six, and has power brakes only because it's a 3/4 ton, all factory. The 77 doesn't even have PB. Both had rubber floors and no A/C.
When I get in the 87 diesel I feel pampered - but deaf.
