Angry How to wreck a perfectly good '73-'87

I knew it wouldn't last long. My retarted friend takes his 2 month old '80 4wd and hits a light pole. Tweeks the front left fender and the hood, breaks the headlight and grill.

Then 2 days later runs it like a race truck with the oil being about 2 quarts low. Throws a rod....

Boy this time I thought i'd actually help him out seeing I know all of you guys. Guess not.

Figured he'd get pulled over for no licsense or insurance before he wrecked the damn thing.

I don't need friends like these....

I also had a friend like that. He 'borrowed' my '78 Scottsdale one night to take a friend home.

NOBODY drives my truck but me and my brother. He's the mechanic so he gets to have his fun too.

For sure, there will be no one driving my truck except me. My wife don't even drive mine. Did I say, I don't trust her driving? I want to stay married and if she'd wreck my truck, I would probably divorce her.

I have no idea shortbox, all I know is that we know the guy who had it before and he put 4.11s in it.

He'll probably let it sit for half a year then try to put a new engine in it...

My wife doesn't drive my truck unless she has to. That's not very often at all.

He can convert it to an 81-87 and make it look good!
