hows it goin everybody. bought my 87 b2000 about a month back from a used car place for $2300. the exterior is very very clean except for a few small scrathes, the rear bumper appears to have been nudged to the left a bit, and the front bumper is multicolor (no idea why) i mean the whole front seems lined up perfect, the bumper is too, just multicolor... and has little scratches all over it probly from pebbles flyin on the highway or somethin...
the interior is perfect. oh and the handle on the tailgate is loose on one end.

oh and im a 17 year old male in highschool. i had an 82 s-10 with a 2.8L 4 speed... it was a piece. then i bought my b2000...

just thought id stop in here and say watsup.

yooooooo!!!
i would spend that much on a mazda if it had that amount of miles on it!!! and it was in the condition that your truck seems to be in.
so you have any plans for your truck?

Welcome to the site

thanks.

as for plans, thats sorta what i came to this site to get help with.
1st things 1st, im gettin some tint, headunit speakers and a sub. i have no idea what im going to do with the sub since theres no room in this tiny truck.
also id like to give the engine a little more grunt. i was thinking maybe some headers or a cam or something like that? ive been looking around and havent been able to find shit.

last for now is the wheels. im looking to switch the wheels to some other factory wheel from another car but im not sure what wheels would fit on it. i hear the b series mazdas are basically fords, so maybe mustang rims would fit?

thanks

nope, your going to need other 6 lug wheels. i lot of people seem to go for escalade wheels or some chevy wheels.

as for performance, mazda's are known for being the slugs of minitrucks. theres always options like v8 swaps and such but for the amount of miles on that thing keeping the current engine is probably what your aiming for.

i would say keep the engine, that thing has got low miles on it. and i wouldnt worry about speed yet. i would rather see your truck draggin with a sick paint job and rims, than with a powerful engine.

even though a lot is manufactured on these trucks similar to what ford has put a lot, a lot is still differant. the wheels is a big one. these are a 6lug x 5.5" so some Chevy and GMC fit. and then theres the other imports like Nissan and Toyota who have the same bolt pattern.
