We re furbbed a '91 pick up a few years ago..3.0L V6
Had 183K on it....one Utah owner....gave the guy $500 (then ran like hell)
Faded paint....little bit rust....CB radio too !!
Replaced T/belt..water pump...hoses...plugs/wires....all fluids..tires/wheels..fuel pump
When my SIL drove it out the driveway to AZ (9 hrs away) we had $2500 in it total
G/son who is now 17...still driving it....
