Re: Please help me decide between these two trucks...

OK, here's the rest of the pics I took with my phone today in the mall parking lot, and one tonight after finally making that "wonderful" ride home. Yeah.....that kinda sucked.









So far I have found out that the motor is REALLY weak, the brakes are marginal and sticking (front calipers started dragging about 10 miles outside the city), the door weatherstripping is gone, door locks are non-operational (don't go up or down), blower motor only works on low and med, not high (and the heat sucks), my instrument cluster needs a LOT of work - gas gauge bounces by about a quarter tank, lower gauges have no illumination, temp gauge is not registering (gonna check for loose wire tomorrow), and the WORST thing of all is that evidently the person that owned the truck sometime prior was incredibly short, as there are wooden blocks added to the seat base to raise it. Not fun to drive for a tall person! There is LOTS more, but this will at least get me started. Gonna look into dropping in my motor tomorrow.
