New truck



Got an 81 Courier with the 2.3l Ford engine and a five speed manual for the grand sum of $400 today- Now no more $70 fill ups that only last a few days, I'll get probably two weeks out of that same amount in this thing.
I'll put pics up tomorrow.

The wife's rig is a lifted 75 Wagoneer-
I had two choices before, a highway runner that was a gas hog in town, but that would flat out haul ***, and a general gas hog that protested any speed over about 45.

It's ugly, but runs great. I think I'll throw a coat of paint on it some time this summer-
