Looks good. I have a 1993 that I use to haul the boat or pull the car hauler trailer for my street rod. It’s mostly original except for the drop and some engine work.

Cool truck! I bought a black one back in 2002 or so with 800 original miles.

Should we start a GoFundMe page to keep you in rear tires?

Poking around tonite and thought I would see what carb setup it has and lo and behold it has an Edelbrock TBI on it, that's a good thing I think isn't it.
Thanks for the well wishes cause I needed them after the last screw job I had. This appears to be a legit truck so far.

Nice truck, you will like this one.

Used to try to pull boats out at the ramp and all it would do is spin them tires, lol.

Now: Did you test drive this one and check it over before you paid for it?

Wow ! Paint looks really good in the pic. I remember those trucks - low slung, big power, SS graphics on the bed. Excellent pick, Op. All the best.

On on my bucket list: 20th TA, GNX, late issue Fiero. Love the 80’s.
