I know. i just couldnt bring myself to buy a ford.... lol

ya it needs a few appearance items. I wanna get some TTII's on it. but they cant be wider than 8" on the front. so i was thinking 245's on the front 275's on the back. only if i found a really cheap set of rims/tires.

Gotta drop it 2". Tint the windows. And maybe a tonneau cover.

Thats a nice truck for the price and year, Only thing about the 4 banger, Those things are absolute DOGS! They are slower than just about anything on the road. If it was stick that would of helped. A geo metro can probly outrun one of those, but for gas prices, It will help. You should see high 20's MPG out of it. Im not sure but those trucks had issues with the head gasket, When I used to work for Chevy.

yup.... slow as ****. Cant tow jack ****. And if it gets hot... the head gasket is done for.

But even if i got the 4.3L V6 i still wouldn't have been able to tow anything i would actually wanna tow. (4300lbs Impala SS)

Not trying to go fast. Just needed to be able to do 3 things... get good MPG's, Fit 2 kids in the back, and be able to fit any car part in the bed. (hood/motor/trans/ect..)

fixed. and the reason i didnt get another f body is cuz i cant afford the insurance, cant haul parts in it. So it met only 2 outta 3 qualifications.
