"...as a roadtrip truck, it'll be a handful but fun."
If you were to get it, I suspect you would plan on at least changing out the engine and rear gears, correct?
If not, a truck that heavy, with a dinky 240 6cyl, and a 5.;13 rear gear.....even on a flat road, empty, that baby would be wound out by 50mph and give you 5 mpg!
That beast would also have a sold front axle, correct? So, yeah, it would ride like a dream..........
But, hey,,,,they all need luv, right?
