Nice driver for a hand me down....but if I were you I would recommend leaving that alone and save your money toward a Mustang. You will never get the performance you want out of that truck

keep the wheels, and keep the truck how it is, it looks sweet already.

and plus with whatever moneys you dont spend on gas you can get a used teminator down the road. look at it this way, if i could get a '94 cobra now for ~$13000, the 04s will be around the same by the time you're 18. just dont buy useless crap and save everything for that terminator and you'll have a nice old truck AND your dream car within like 5-6 years. patience is a virtue!



i know its a pian to wait (i've been waiting since I was 12, but trust me, saving up pays off! mmmmmm cobra II..... )

Thanks for the words of wisdom Arin. Its a decent truck, its a 318 V8 with 3 speed auto. I have to get my life and job set-up before i go for a terminator, but i am saving. problem is, here their is NO way to drive a car in the winter, even that truck was a mess until we put in a posi.

OMG I totally missed this post. Very sorry Doug. Nice truck. The 318 is a great engine, very reliable. It really depends on what you want to do but I would save for a Stang man!

i honestly think if yous tart a savins accout right now, you'll be able to afford one withn 5-6 years. i never thought i'd own my car, or anything as nice as it is now, when i first started saving. trust me, $300 turns to $3000 pretty fast, if you religioulsy deposit and dont blow it on stupid things, like video games, etc (let it be known that the only games i've purchased in the last year are star wars battlefront, ford mustang racing and ford racing 2 )

you can do eeet!
