I'm pretty sure idi's are pretty well more like a beautiful thing that is music to my ears they have a distinct sound that I love and I love the old style bullnose I know I cant find a truck I want more than these people keep telling me to scrap my ol girl and I keep telling them to shove it because it's not gonna happen and I hate newer trucks somewhat because of the looks but mostly because they cost alot and because there maintenance bill is a hell of a lot higher than my idi

I am in the process of figuring out the tach, but whilst driving it around, the speedometer started going haywire.....next question....the PO said that the heater box or something along those lines was cracked, it blows air, just cold air only....i got a new blower motor cause it didnt blow very hard at all. There are AC Delco GP's in there(got 8 new motorcraft ones so no worries there) I got Rotella T 15w-40 oil. Any other things i need to fix are going to come in time.

I am not really into the whole exhaust coming out of the bed thing, but, other than that the truck looks good. What happened with the other one?
