Well, I finally found a truck. Going to pick it up after work Neutral

1997, 1 ton... not 4x4. Has a few costmetic issues as you see on the fender, knob on the radio, cover over doam light, few cig burns, left rear fender has a mid size dent, blown light bulb somewhere, and mirror switch is bad. But seemed to drive fine, shift fine.

Now I can finally haul some crap, or tow some crap and make some money on the weekends.

Nice looking truck. What color is the interior? Should have the same interior as mine (I don't like the older style).

Nice, that 6.5 turbo diesel wasn't a bad engine. Not a ton of power, but enough to at least get out of its own way. Laughing

I just looked up the rpo codes, and its called "natural", which to me is a tan.

This thing sure zips around town for its size. Now after 70mph, its not gonna make any speed records, thats for sure.

I plan on hauling a flatbed with lumber or my camaro. I'm sure it will get loaded up with some lumber and whatever my friend destorys for his jobs(hes gonna lease it during the week). I help him on the weekends as well.

that should have a 454, if it's a 396 then it's been swapped.

454 is gas.

This is diesel.. 6.5l which works out to 395/396
