For the facebook users... went and rescued this gem from in front of my father in law's house. FO FREE! I had my doubts as to whether or not it would start after sitting for 2.5 years or so... but I robbed a battery from my truck and it started like it had just been parked yesterday. Drove it on the trailer and away we went. Clutch bleeds down a bit and there's some vacuum leaks, but nothing major by the looks of it.
2.3, Manual, LWB. Plan to get a new clutch and fix the A/C as it's had a 134 conversion done at some point. Maybe tint the windows and find a new driver's fender and bumper for it.
On a good note, the old 7.3 averaged 16 mpg pulling the 20 foot trailer 100 miles empty, then 100 miles loaded. 4.10 gears at 60-63 miles per... i'm pretty proud of that.
