Another new guy
Hey all,
Signed up a couple of days ago, just getting around to the introduction.
I have an '87 2X longbed with around 230,000 miles on her. I've had her since around 75,000. Been through a lot and done a bunch of work to her over the years: water pump (twice), gas tank, fuel pumps, alternater, batteries, loads of oil changes, tires, and brakes. Seems like I've replaced enough parts that it should be a new truck by now.
I plan on keeping her for a few more years and want to do some upgrades soon. It's my work truck now but eventually will get replaced with a van for that. After then I'd like to take the bed off and make it into a flatbed. The motor and trany are original so it's almost time for those to go. Other than that I'll just be looking around here for things to make her better.
Thanks for having me, hopefully I can contribute what I know.
