    I was selling a home & this truck was parked out back. Finally i told tenant to move truck or i would have it towed. The next day the tenant gave me the keys & the pink slip. I waited until everyone left to show my excitement. I had to jump start the truck but it started right up. Got her registered, oil change & had it looked at by mechanic all good so far. My wife on the other hand said "do not park that thing here"

    1984, single cab, longbed, fuel injection, standard with 295,000 miles!

    Welcome and congrats!

    Although it was good for you, I never understand people who 'give up' so easily on cars like that. If he jump started it himself, just for ****s and giggles, if nothing else, he could have just turned it into the State's junker program and get a $1000.

    I assume the previous owner was overwhelmed with moving out. He had other vehicles & other expensive toys. I was not prepared for all the attention the truck gets from people. I was going to sell it but the truck has come in handy.

    At 1st I was going to sell it for what ever I could get. Now I want to clean her up, replace front bumper & grill. I have to put this piece by the driver door back on. I have the black piece I do not have the (notches) for lack of better words that the piece goes on to.

    Not sure if that made since.

    Looks like the wife's going to have to get used to seeing it around as it's now a family heirloom with the future owner already working on it!

    You are correct. My son already said he wants it for his 1st Vehicle.

    Nice find. Interesting. I've never seen a standard cab with the bucket seats and console. Is the back wall carpeted? And is the spare tire crank extension mounted on the back wall?

    20161005_100049_1475723730237_resized.jpg Thanks, the back wall is carpeted & yes it does have the spare crank. I dont have original jack, but i do have the original tire changing tools.
