SO! One week ago i hopped on a plane from the Bufallo, New York airport and several hours later i landed at LAX. After a weekend in Bakersfield at a nostalgia drag race event my dad and i took off across the dessert to Meadiew Arizona to look at a 1991 D250 that i found on craigslist several weeks earlier. As we neared the guys house the sky started to turn black, the road turned from ashphalt to dirt, and from dirt to basically rough trail. Needless to say i started to get a bad feeling about the truck before i'd even seen it.
WOW was i pleasantly surprised. The truck was waiting in the driveway recently washed and cleaned inside and out. There wasn't a spot of rust on the truck, although the paint on the hood and roof is pretty faded and missing in spots. When i popped the hood i check the oil and airfilter, both appear to have been recently changed, the oil still being clear. The truck is a 5 speed, it has an airlift airbag system with an onboard pump, a banks muffler, and some badass mudflaps. I made the deal and after spending a week or two here in arizona at my parents condo, i'll be driving it back home to Niagara Falls Canada. My plans for the future include a fuel pin, governor spring and a timing modification. Eventually i'd like to get some gauges and fix the faded hood and roof. I love reading these forums and can't wait to start personalizing this truck and making it my own.
