This thing is either a diamond in the rough or a really bad idea.
I bought it a couple months ago, and I finally located an inexpensive remanufactured 2 bbl carb for it. Sometimes E-bay works out.
My carb had a worn-out throttle shaft, so rebuilding it wouldn't have helped and the nearest rebusher machine shop was $120.00. "We have a reman unit for $245.00" Umm. . . thanks, I'll think about it.
High bid at $45.00. plus $19.00 for the shipping. . .do the math, and I bought the carb and saved a lot.
Brown paint.
Automatic.
Power steering with a leaky pump. . .which is cheap to fix with a Pull-a-part not too far away.
Big cab.
Cloth, worn out bench seat. Room for three across.
A/C that maybe works but parts are cheap if I need them too.
A HUGE LONG BED.
A tailgate that opens and shuts.
Brown paint.
Probably 16 miles per gallon.
A 250 CID straight 6-cylinder TRACTOR MOTOR that doesn't smoke.
Noisy exhaust until heat closes the crack at the flange.
Dents.
Dings.
Cracked windshield.
Cracked dash.
Wing windows.
A slider rear.
And now it starts when it's cold because it has a working choke on it.
Brown paint.
White fromt bumper, dented.
I need an air cleaner housing, since the PO kept taking it off to start the truck and now has lost it I think.
No emissions. . . it's exempt because it's an '81. That's $25.00 that I get to keep every year.
Original 15" steel wheels. With the original chrome spinners and trim rings.
I already had 5 tires . Now I can use them to replace the worn out booties on this sled.
No spare.
No jack.
