I bought mine with the intention of fixing it up into a niccceeee truck to drive every dan, and that has KINDA hapened so far. I now use it to drive every day. It is a pretty fun truck to drive with a fresh drivetrain (20k on a rebuilt 350 and 6k on a rebuilt tranny), and has more than enough power to embarass most rice burners and new trucks, even though it is pretty stock with simply a mild cam, headers, flowmasters, edelbrock intake, and edelbrock carb.
Lately i have been using it for hard work. The body is getting kinda rough, so i have been using it to haul scrap metal, firewood, and old shingles, all in the intrest of making money. I have loaded it until the rear tires squat, and the back bumper is 4" off the ground several times. It pulls the loads just fine, but the brakes and handling feel a little scary, lol. Next year i will be driving it back and forth from college. My motor will have a set of ported 186 camel hump heads on it in June, and hopeflly the truck will look a bit better by August. Then i will have a decent looking, rust free truck that will be pretty fast too.
