and I filled up all the fluids on the new pickup. everything was low. (including 2 qts on the tranny) and the oil cap was missing.
the old guy was not maintenance oriented...
and the tranny is still hokey even when full. but intermittent, which still offers a glimmer of hope.
after a wash job, it's pretty nice. (it was dust brown when I got it. thick and tan) a little rust in the cab corners, and a fender that's wavy from a mishap. but nice paint, (burgandy) and a tear free cloth seat. and a bed liner.
I hauled a long pipe back from D's while I had an 8 foot bed to play with.
