Haha...nope. It was a WI truck.
Mechanically, it's a good truck. One small snafu this weekend but nothing major. The body is/was shot, however. Really, if I looked it over more carefully, I wouldn't have bought it. It was pretty much a POS. I wanted to learn how to work on this stuff and I'm getting a lesson.
The biggest one is, not to buy one in this kind of shape anymore.
I had $1K in my pocket when I went to look at it. He had an asking price of $1200. I got it for $800. Not counting my time, I have $1425 invested into it. I probably have to spend about $700-1000 more for painting supplies and exhaust.
I plan to drive it for a year or so when it's done and sell it. I'm going to replace it with a truck in better condition that I'll make to my specs, when finished. I plan to keep the next one until my son graduates HS and if he plays his cards right... he can drive it to his grad party because it will be his.
