70 here too, beautiful day.

 

Internet pro tip- a spud wrench is terrific to line up those aftermarket coil overs to your lowers

 

Yeeaaa....

There's a clean rust free always garaged 1995 ish Chevy Silverado 1500 4WD truck up the road for sale I'm seriously debating buying and selling the Tacoma...

 

You could prob make money on the Tacoma selling now

 

They were pretty good old trucks, might have the 350 engine too.

 

I'd probably get a check for $10K afterwards... Debating it, but can't make up my mind.

 

Arent a lot of them 305?

 

5.7L Non-Vortec V8 in this one. Extended cab complete with old man cap!

 

4.3 V6, 305 or the 350 were all available back then I believe. The 3/4 ton models could still get a 454 too.

 

now you are talking

 

Can't really go wrong with a rust free truck, parts are still easily available too.

 

I've been debating getting rid of the Tacoma and getting something like it. Or, go all out and find a 2022 Manual Tacoma. Can't make up my darn mind!

 

Get you a F150

 

You know how hard to find a 99-03 5.4 4WD rust free Supercab is around here?

 

Have to go south for that.

 

If you are going for an older Ford get a 92-96, they still have the 302 & 351 engines.
The F-250/350 kept the old body style until 1997 along with the 460 engine option - 7.5 liter for you metric folks.

 

He’s holding out for a frontier…

All those old body style V8 Fords were hard on gas, my 92 F-150 was a constant 12 mpg, the 96 F-250 (460 power) gets about 7.5 in town and up to 11 on the highway.

You really don't understand 7.5 mpg until you actually live with it for a while, just running around doing the in town lawns/errands and the like could digest a 1/4 tank...

I got stuck commuting to work with it for a week when fuel was around $4/gallon, that was a painful week.
