    It has 133,000 miles ac/heater 5-speed interior is super clean!

    *Nope didn't end up keeping the 20's, but will be buying some better 20's soon. But right now it has ford mustang rims, unno if anyone notice =)

    Save up for the 3.4L
    then thrash on the V6
    then whenever it breaks, you got a 3.4L ready ;)

    but yeah dude, have fun with the truck and be safe!

    Looks nice. That is what I was looking for, ex-cab, when I found my 79. But I just could not pass up my 79. Maybe when I am done w/ the 79 I'll find one of these.

    that motor will blow up at about 160,000...give or take a couple thousand..not being a dick but these v6 motors always have the head gasket problem..you may not think of it because it has alot of power but wen the time comes she"ll blow up..just be ready with another motor soon...im serious....

    btw nice rims i love them..they look sooo sick...if you plan on selling them LMK im in hawaii but im willing to ebay it or something...

    I have a 3vz-e in my x-cab with 260k no headgasket problems yet. Just make sure to do the regular maintenance and it will last.

I need to know what really needs to go and what can stay in order to get it off:shrug: also any body knows how well the 5vze motor fits in these truck when their bagged to lay frame on 20's, because i heard you need to scoop the hood, but i dont like that and also is it smog legal in CA to have that motor in that truck....? I want to know as much as i can so i don't screwup:(
