What do you think of this truck??

Question

I found this truck I really like on ebay but before I think about buying it or anything I want to know what other people think about it, heres the link http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=&item=190229605466

Answer 1

thats not a bad looking truck, what i can see of it, its kinda dark in the background.

Answer 2

Looks like a good cheap truck, if you live in the area to take delivery on it. Just remember that old V-8 is going to be a gas guzzeler, I dont know about gas prices near you but where I am the price of regular is $4.899 a gal...

Answer 3

That looks like a neat older truck!  It seems like a nice driver quality pickup that you can have fun with without spending a whole lot of money.

The really nice thing is that it has a 4 speed on the floor, which would make it a lot more enjoyable to drive versus an automatic.  I can't quite tell from the pics, but it looks like it has a Hurst shifter. (which is really cool!)  I don't think a '71 302 engine would get very bad gas mileage, but you have to remember that it is a V8.  The ad says the truck is currently owned by a mechanic, so that's a big plus!
