Damnit.

All the best sh*t comes up for sale when I'm out of cash.

So, how do you really feel? Stop holding back. It's unhealthy.

If you take a close look the door/body gap on drivers side is waaay to large, and there's overspray showing in wheel well and frame.
Possible just a fresh paint job, but also maybe body damage.

Eh. Yeah. It's irritating haha.

Been watching for a clean one of the first Gen diesels to come up for sale, either the mitsu, but preferably the perkins.

Want one to run on blended fuel - fleet trucks give me an endless supply of used oil to burn. Even if I have to thin it with diesel, it would make an awesome runs-for-nearly-free shop truck.

Solid truck and sadly it's way outside CA. Lame.

It looks to be in really good shape. I think they are asking too much for it but with it having a diesel, I'm sure someone will pay it.

Sharp lil rig.

I dont think 3200 is out of line. Up here thats a 5000 dollar truck.

Did the old diesel really need two starting batteries?

I know a new powerstroke has one, but a 2.2 diesel needs that much cranking power?

Of course this could be before the days of better starter with better gear reduction ratios to overcome spinning higher compression engines....

Would love to see that one in person. Looks pretty straight. Agreed about the body panel gaps - should be easy to correct assuming it wasn't wrecked. I think the price is low if it's as nice as it appears in the pictures.
