Faults:

Nothing except for normal maintenance.

General Comments:

I've tried everything to kill it. It hasn't had a tune up in years. I don't change the oil until it resembles hot fudge. I drive it like a maniac (like any small truck, cops can't see it). It will not die. It's unholy, I have the undead in my garage. Send help, I need an exorcism. It's calling me. Take me for a drive, it says. Grind my gears, buy the cheapest gas in town, floor it at every stoplight, I don't care, you can't kill me! (demonic laugh).

Faults:

Leak around the windshield

Bad rust.

Seats wore.

General Comments:

This truck is the toughest truck I've ever seen.

Estimated to have over 400,000 road miles, and still revs up to about 7,000 RPM.

Things that have gone wrong with truck.

High idle in mornings that will last sometimes 30 minutes.

Tapping noise from engine for the last 9 months. Took truck to a mechanic and he said it was a sticky lifter. Tapping has quieted down a little since adding some oil additives, but is still there. For the last few months car will sometimes surge when accelerating. Car has also died out a few times when I started to accelerate in fourth gear. This morning I was on my way to work and the truck just died on me in third gear. Truck will turn over, but it will not start. I do not think the timing belt has ever been changed. I do not know if its the timing belt, carburetor, air/fuel solenoid, etc? Any and all help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Nice little truck that is great on gas.

Good runner as long as you take care of it.

Faults:

Battery died due to old age and intermittent use.

Muffler went at 59,000.

Air cleaner housing hoses keep blowing out due to unknown cause. taking truck to shop now to find out cause; possibly clogged catalytic converter?

Winshield was leaking and patched with sealant when purchased.

General Comments:

Extended long bed is incredible. more room than $30,000. trucks, I can haul anything.

Echo the upper body workout theme; try sharp turns or 4 point parking!

It almost looked new upon purchase. old farm truck with hardly a scratch.

Old style interior is kind of cool.

Faults:

"Clicking" while driving on hot days - fixed now. Replaced battery, fuel filter, fixed oil leak, normal problems for the age of the truck.

General Comments:

Very nice truck. I love it. Very reliable. I learned how to drive it this truck and it's a very good first car for someone. Gives your arms a workout when parallel parking for lack of power steering, but it's not too bad otherwise. Slow acceleration because of not having fuel injection. Very cheap to operate and fix. Not too expensive to fill up with gas. OK gas mileage. Cab is very comfortable and roomy. Seats are comfortable except for on very long drives. Overall, I am very happy with it.
