Awesome
Front & rear brakes. Nothing has gone wrong. Have replaced master & slave cylinders as preventative.
Light weight. Great MPG's above 30. Geared in a way that allows for the great mileage. No power steering. Will drive it till it dies, but I’ll go first I’m sure.

One good truck
I have done nothing to this truck. I change the oil, put gas in it and drive it. Hauled just about anything I needed to. The best little truck I have ever owned.
It is a 2nd owner truck. The previous owner said he put brakes on it. And alternator, spark plugs, wires and cap at 99000.
It's been a very good truck!

This truck makes me smile!
Bad thermostat, which has caused the engine to slightly overheat.
The truck has also had a consistent problem with master and slave cylinders, which I am having to change out almost every other year.
I love this truck, it was given to me as a gift, but after driving it now for over three years, I would have gladly paid for it.
It usually seems to run cold, so in the winter it is somewhat of a pain to try and let it heat up to an acceptable running temperature.
For a small truck, it accelerates well, and handles whatever you throw at it; it's a beast!
Stock seats were a little uncomfortable, but I was able to easily switch them out for a pair of bucket Corbeau seats.
This truck is easy to modify and work on, and gets amazing gas mileage.
This truck has no blind spots, and is very easy to drive.
I cannot say enough good things about this truck; I love it so much!

If it is occasionally running hot but usually running cool, your thermostat has probably seized open. When it seizes open, it can overheat because the coolant does not stay in the radiator long enough. It will usually run cool though, due to the constant flow of coolant. Honestly it is very easy to replace the thermostat (my sister has had to do it) and it's not an expensive part; you probably should just replace it before it really does run hot and does serious damage.
Used and abused, yet it still runs and is driven daily
Valve seals worn at 174000 miles.
Burns and leaks oil.
In consideration of all that is wrong with this truck, it should not be running right now, yet everyday it takes me to work and brings me home, and everywhere in between. This truck can take serious abuse and brush it off.
I am the umpteenth owner of this truck, it smokes terribly due to worn seals or rings, has poor compression, and leaks oil all over the ground, yet I still manage 21-22 mpg city, and it starts each and every time I turn the key. It truly is a shame they don't build engines like this anymore.

I agree. I too own a 1987 B2000. I bought it from an older guy. It was sitting in his covered barn for 15 years. He barely drove it. It had 87,000 miles on it when I bought it in Nov. 2007. It fired right up. It now has 135,000 miles on it and runs great. I get about 32 miles per gal. It's my everyday truck.
Very reliable
The head gasket needs to be changed.
Carburetor runs fast.
Not much on creature comfort, but this is normal for a work truck.

175000 miles on top of 121K miles and no repairs?
At best, hard to believe...
