Re: 366 expectations

Update,

Went to give the truck a second look and a longer test drive. On the drive, the poor truck could not get over 40mph going up a slight grade. It felt like it had a bad miss or plug wires wrong.

When i looked underneath, the passenger exhaust was crushed 90% and the drive crushed ~70%. The exhaust was lower than the front axle and it looks like it has been taking a beating. (Crazy enough,, no leaks).

It looks like it has been that way for a while, not sure if that has cause some valve damage. (exhaust seat/guides) That along with a singing throw-out bearing I decided against it.

It is a shame, it is a cool older truck but When i add up all the little things it will need more than~5k to make it road worthy again.

Thanks for replies,
Chris
