rust is it's main problem - eating away at the frame, the tanks, the bed the wheel wells and everything else.
it was violently rear-ended while parked last year by a non-insured driver which exasperated the problem.
exhaust manifold leaks.
is running on 4 of 6 cylinders.
terminal vacuum hose problems.
anything that can be cosmetically wrong with it, is.
still, all this doesn't stop me from driving it daily around town. Clutch/trans/brakes are solid. It's just I need something more reliable for when I have to leave town.

Are you parting it out/ selling it? Sending it to a dreary death at a junk yard? Like most of use, I'm looking for parts and a decent block to rebuild. My rusty old truck really suprises me on long trips. I always wonder - when is it going to die. So far so rusty
