$1500 even, 3.0, 48,900 miles, auto, 4wd, new all weather tires, used to be owned by an electric company, just had a new computer put in and working with adsm08 on getting the speedo working, I need to manipulate the throttle to get it to shift smoothly, and only works about 1/2 the time, but other than that, an incredible truck, I drove it 220 miles back from Philly.

Its an LED flasher up top too, works great, has a nice toolbox mounted to the bed, and a very nice headache rack.

Plans for mods? none really, its a fleet model, so a new radio, fix the speedo, pushbar, better speakers, hitch, useful things really. This gets me to and from work great, but with the tranny the way it is, I am averaging 10-14mpg on a good day, I need to get it fixed soon, killing my wallet. (on the ride from Philly I averaged 15mpg+ and 20mpg at one point).

Ridge, when you going to come take a look for yourself? haha, and yeah, now I have some title problems, getting it cleared up, waiting for the title from Harrisburg, and a copy of the original bill of sale from the auction, once done, about 2-3 weeks, the truck is done and road legal again.

I see 2 pretty clean examples a fine old pick up truck. Trucks being used for truck stuff.

Im not sure how to reply to this

I think he means that not only do they get us there and back, trucks are supposed to work while doing it too. I agree. If I didn't need a truck (or two) I'd own a car. Kip, I'm out your way about once a week or so, U can't miss the very BLUE ranger. Shoot me a PM.

This truck has been treating me very well, this saturday I am going to transfer the title and get a new speed sensor for it. Total bill = $470 after insurance. yeah =p a lot.....

I also found my old horse trailer we are scrapping, it has new tires on it, randomly... not joking, randomly.... so I will put those on my truck and save the more aggressive tires for winter.

I plan to change the oil and spark plugs with my next paycheck, and I might flush the engine first.... debating....

I plan to put a pushbar on it, and possibly work it into a lightweight grill guard, as well as adding two lights up front and two on top and one for the bed. ($150 job total). Now to figure out how to wire it o_o never done it before.

I also need to get rid of the rust building up on the floorboard, its not bad, but it will get bad, might do it to the underside as well.

Make sure those tires on your old trailer are vehicle tires...you don't want to put trailer tires on a truck or car.
