Re: Brought back from the dead!

I love this build. Dad bought a '92 4.3/5-speed brand new and I bought it from him in 2000 with around 180k miles. That was the most bulletproof truck we've ever had. We put an alternator, one engine mount (my fault) and a water pump on, that was it over 200k. The engine and trans combo wasn't winning any races but it regularly got 17-18mpg and could go 21-22 on long highway trips. Me and that transmission were one together, I only used the clutch in 1st gear most of the time. The bench seat in these trucks are some of the most comfortable made. They're just nice cruisers. And the color of yours...perfect. Looking forward to more updates! BTW if you ever choose to sell it please keep me in mind (serious). It would be perfect for my son.
