    On my way home I saw this truck parked like it might be for sale. No sign, but the tags expire in two weeks, it's not going to take another inspection sticker without a bunch of work, and just the way it was parked made me think they wanted it looked at.

    It's an '84 dually with a 22R and a 10'9" bed. I've had Pablo for about 6 months now. I don't need another parts truck really. But I thought someone here might be amused by the pictures. I don't think there is a right section of the forum here for this, but since the suspension is the most unique part, I put it here.

    Worn out 195/70R14s. Worn out seats. Oily spray over the engine and the underside of the hood. Overflowing ashtray. 109k. Front tires say it needs alignment.

    I'll be trying to figure it all out later. Maybe I should talk to them. Dunno.

    You just saved me the effort of looking those codes up. Thanks.

    I also notice that the axle has trusses welded on the bottom, and the leaf springs have more leaves than Pablo does, even though Pablo is supposed to be a 1-Ton chassis.
