I bought a beater work truck over the weekend ....
It's an 83 and only has a measly 98,0000 miles !!
I got it for $875 and it runs great. Frame is ok, everything is pretty much original. I like that 700R4 tranny. Maybe it wasn't worth quite that much but then again, the bed is solid enough, I and haul some stuff with it and it drives well. Nice tailgate, nice newer chrome rear bumper. The brakes are weird though, I press the pedal and it's hard to press, then it seems to grab the brakes and not want to let go all the way. Bad master cylinder? Anyway, here is a pic. I think I have truck fever now. |

Booster maybe? Whenever I've had a master cylinder go out, I have no brakes at all. Sweet truck though!

Probably collapsed brake hose holding pressure on the brakes.

Re: I bought a beater work truck over the weekend ....
My first thought was collapsed brake hoses as well... they can act as a check valve and don't allow fluid to return back to the m/c

Maybe the rear drums are to tight?

875 for a running and driving truck is a steal.

Why's it got to be a "beater" truck? /:
