Don't buy the truck, save up your money for things like repairs on the Chevy and living expenses. I have two vehicles and I lost my job, my car is now parked in the garage with no insurance or current registration on it, and will stay like that till summer comes and I can actually afford it. You got a good truck now, drive it and enjoy it, when you get a nice steady well-paying job get a project like this F250.

You're calling your panzer a lemon? It wasn't a lemon it was just well abused. A true lemon is the truck with 100,000 miles, but burns oil like no ones business, blows headgaskests, and doesn't start. Your panzer just had a few gremlins.

nah, its a 23 year old truck, its just cranky.
If I won't call my F100 a lemon, then I can't let you call your panzer a lemon
The F100 drank Rotella like gasoline (1 quart to 100 miles), would leak all of its gear oil out of the rearend, to the point one night I didn't know about it, and it started to sound like a chainfall being spun at high speed, but when I made it home I filled it with 5 quarts of gearoil, and she was just fine. The carb randomly decided to self destruct. The head gasket leaked, so I put blackpepper in the radiator and it made it stop. The column shifter would get jammed in town and I would only have 1st gear unless I stopped got out and unstuck in the linkages. But I thought it wasn't that bad bein is 1 it was 28 years old, 2 it came from up north so it had tons of cancer, 3 it had over 350K still original running gear.
But all in all I miss that truck.

thats always the good part. I was happy that a super redneck bought my F100, because for 3 weeks no one but the Mexican car haulers looked at it, and I didn't want my F100 to become a rotted and abused truck in Mexico. Now I see my F100 at least once a week and it makes me happy everytime I see it cuz he has since bondo's most of the rust and painted it black
