Re: Newby Question. Which truck should I buy

That longhorn doesn't look rusty and crusty at all. Pictures could be hiding serious rust though.

Do you have a linkto the ad for the 68. I couldn't find it on Kijiji if that is where it is, You say the 68 is a speed , do you mean a granny gear with the Bull Low 4 speed? If that is what it is and you plan on driving it on the highway you won't be happy with the drivability and gas mileage on the truck. It will have 4:10 rear gears and the engine will scream at 100kmph at at 120 as well as the screams you'll be lucky to get 7/8mpg with it.

I'm hoping it's a M20. Will know this weekend when I look at it. It's on Kijiji just real hard to find and no phone number.
