Thumbs up My new daily driver

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2475477536

I bought this on the 26th to replace my S10 im gonna lower it but not right away iv'e only driven it about 80 miles due to a POS A/C Delco battery.

Since iv'e had two that have leaked acid out of the pos. terminal i planed on swaping it out with the Optima that's in the S10 and there's evidence that this has happened once on this truck cuz the inner fender well has paint missing and rust from where bat. acid has leaked from the pos terminal.

Anyways i go to swap out the bat's and the pos. term. on the hoe is sooooo tight it wont break loose so i really giver a crank and the pos attach lug in the bat housing snaps off so now the bat is really no good now.

So i get the terminals apart and find that when the first bat leaked who ever put the new bat in didn't clean the acid out of the terminals and they corroded to the point where the bolt was frozen.

I found the truck on Ebay as you can see and i went to look at it in person and got it so besides the battery thing the truck is very nice and i cant wait to start driving it.

No doubt. That wouldn't sell for under 12k around here. Nice find.
