Awesome buy! Glad to hear you got it running. That is pretty low down in any book. I wish I could find a deal like that. I miss having a pickup. I sold mine to buy a 4-Runner.

sweeet good looking ride

that truck is nice too

nice job figuring it out.

I was not trying to be discouraging-but yes I meant it must have been a huge relief to the seller that you still wanted to buy it, in the condition of not running.

If you had passed on it she likely would have taken less money for it-or had to spend money to figure out the Orbitz gum wrapper deal.

No offense was intended-perhaps I did not phrase that the best.

Ron, no offense was taken. I was giving you a hard time about the comment but I was being sarcastic...really hard to relay in writing. One thing I have definitely noticed here is that there seems to be very little to no flaming or rude posters on YT and a genuine interest in helping one another. That is very cool considering almost every other forum I lurk at is horrible at times.
