So my buddy has a 93 p/u, 3vze, 5spd, only 156k, and, aisin hubs, it needs a drivers door, and starter, he is willing to give it to me for $1,000. I am going to buy it next week, and my plans are to use it for offroad only, so doors are not important, infact...I will take them both off all together. The only prob with this truck is that it has been sitting for 2 years. What ya'all think? Things to look for due to sitting?(obviously rust)

just a 22re

brakes, gaskets, pumps, seals, tires, lube, coolant, wiperblades, oil, plugs,wires,cap and rotor, rats nests, loose change, mold, rot on the frame and over the gas tank, wheel bearings, murder wepons, missing fuses, junk starter, old nasty food under the seat, gas cap still there, radio speaker still good, under the shifter boots (trust me i found about 10 bucks in change and old nasty food in mine) the blower motor snakes and mice live to live there, used condom between the seats, parking tickets in the glovebox, deer urine in the blower motor intake that really smells trust me

just a 22re

oh and check that the window still seal man run some water over them and find out

LOL I know all about the mice and rats...my 93 sat for a year, and I had a huge nest under the intake plenum. Food...yuck..I hate finding roten food, I have found that the best solution for this is to take it through a river or deep water hole...the food usually floats out when u open the doors. lol

Not yet, will try to get some tomorrow, It's a pretty nice lookin truck, and I know its history, plus...it's red, red has always been a good color for me, now I'll have 3 red yotas in my driveway!

I used to have these sitting in my driveway, now only one that won't start and my DD (2wd yellow one)



It's great until your neighbors start complaining...

just a 22re

wow man thats alot of runners there

Team420

sweet, I would love to have more, and someday I will!! And I live in the woods, so If someone complains, they can be "taken care of" lol

hmmwv15

haha, no it was only two runners, the yellow one is my DD p/u and the other white thing is my dad's explorer. Now the one in the middle is gone and I only have my DD and the one on the left is the one that won't start...

Yeah I guess you won't have problems with neighbors in the woods! Da da ding ding ding.

A car that's been sitting is a risk. I do it all the time. I find the best thing to do is charge the battery, change the fluids and drive it around and fix the problems as they come. Just plan a budget and stick to it. Know how much is the max before you pull the plug and either try to sell it or part it out.
