Third is a charm

Hello, All

I just picked this truck up last weekend, and it made the thirty mile trip home sound after sitting for the last 6 years. Overall, it is quite clean, the original owner died about 6 years ago and it has been sitting since. I happened on it about 5 months ago and finally struck a deal with the owner who has had it stored since then. Here is the info, it was last smogged in ca in 97 and since then has had about 2 thousand miles put on it. It still has the stock engine with about 106K on and starts with no smoke. Surprised even me. Even though it has been sitting, the vehicle is actually quite clean and has never been abused. When the owner passed away, the widow actually gave the truck to the owner of the yard where it has been sitting the past 6 years because she did not like driving a stick and had no need for it. A few other notes, does anyone know how many of these came with factory installed A/C. Other wise, I am glad to finally be on this forum with a running truck. I am the same guy who had the two trucks on ebay that have been sitting out in the mojave desert for years. Pics are in the gallery.

Thanks
Shaun
