It may well have been, Steve...honestly thought when they announced that car as the winner they said 56 but I could be wrong.

Dave - I don't mind the heat...keeps me warm when it's 20 and snowing for months on end...lol.

Thanks Steve. Got a long way to go to get where I want to be, but it was a huge first step.

You got a nice rig too man, don't sell yourself short. Pix I took hide a lot of defects, and a rusty third door that needs worked on. That's next on my list of things to deal with.

It is a basic ride, rubber on the floor and no tach. I did put some leather covers on the seats, LED taillights. Next is to get power locks. I kind of miss them.

Wow - for $225 you got something that looks really clean there, Dave. You won't find that here in PA...lol.

Steve - didn't know you could aftermarket in a set of power locks?

DR.Eddie's is going to do it for $150. It has an alarm already installed, thanks to my son.

Great find Dave. I liked my 88.

That's not bad for power door locks. Had I known that my 99 Ranger would have gotten a set...lol, it was all manual stuff.

My cousin had an older B2, was his last new truck before he got killed in a work-related accident in 85. Fun little ride.

I am going to freshen up the 2.9 and run until it gets in need of a real rebuild, then start looking for a 5.0 from a 83-85 Mustang GT.

It had many electrical issues that needed sorted out, but runs well now........I am into it for a total of $731 now (including purchase price) PO was going to have it towed to the crusher.
