Some of the roads around here are almost undriveable. So much for fixing the damn roads.

Good for you. But be prepared. Last year some friends persuaded me to put mine in a local car show. Almost no one wandered over to look at it.
I'm shocked no one looked at that beautiful truck Lefty ! .

Mine is nearly as clean but is the total stripper, I love it and here in La La Land every where I go folks ask to buy it .

Here there's no shortage of rust free $1,500 Rangers that run well .

Our self-service junkyards often look like used truck lots .

I wonder if it ever got fixed ? .

The fuel filter is really important . it takes a $5 tool to remove it .

I wonder of a vacuum hose is leaking but you have to do all the basic maintenance first, then you can look for vacuum leaks and run the codes etc .
