I need and am kind of looking for another vehicle which i hate doing. I would like to have a pickup for 197? to 199? . I want a 2wd that makes it tuff and a plain cab even worse . I want to replace my 1997 Jeep liberty . Sometimes when it shifts into OD it bangs?

I've been seeing some stuff recently that was "reasonably" priced also. There's still a lot of trucks massively overpriced, but some stuff has gone down in prices. Kind of a unique trailer.

I’m going to bounce this thread. This is old 2057. I remember her. “We” sent her to RB after using and abusing her on the Dalton Highway for many years. She was rode hard and put away wet. Surprised to see her in Illinois, of all places. Shocked at the asking price.

While I like the big cats, I think if I was spending $40, I might take a chance on the Mack. Having under 300,000 miles vs. the western star or pete which are both probably million mile trucks, has a appeal to me.

Frame on the Pete says LOADS as to what might fail next.

Low mile trucks always make me want to see hours. Lots of oil field trucks with low miles but 10-12k hours. That idle time concerns me more than mileage.

Almost every Vocational Use machine is Low Miles HIGH Hours.

The Pete---complete overhaul?--still has original oil cooler & water pump, probably original turbo.
The Mack----on a lot all polished up with super low miles-- look at the acid burnt aluminum.
The Star----Oh you just know the drivers seat is as lumpy as bad gravy--original and pumped full
of pharts. If it weren't for the 10 speed it would have been a good truck.

The Pete is a loser--any owner that would put a image of a truck in the signage on the door
is a idiot--
That Mack the lot needs to say why it has low mileage, I expect chips in the paint.
The Star is the only one that looks the part.
Those are all east of the rockies trucks--which means rot, mold, fungus, and best of all rust
in the fasteners.

In frame, likely a Fast patch OH. More or less what I had planned for C15 in KW that went south quickly.

I get the Speed Wash acid cuts all goop, but to not ever take the time to shine the truck back up at least a Little Bit?? Shows a total lack of concern for the machines. That Pete has also lost a Fuel Tank strap so why not have replaced Both as the other will not be far behind the first? and NO tank steps on the Hydraulic Tank, still need to access Right side on occasion.

When aluminum is turned white--there is usually a reason.
Straps are all there.
Not polishing stuff isn't a lack of concern. I've run tons of trucks that were well kept but no one was spending hours and hours polishing stuff.
Polishing isn't making anyone money. It's clean, and looks well kept, that's good enough for most folks.

My point is----it has more mileage than one thinks.
