I’m going to start restoring a 72 K10 stepside in the spring. Don’t ruin this for me!

Lived my whole life in Montana. The big things are increase your following distance and show extra distance to stop and drive smooth. Any fast inputs can upset the balance of the car. Also, people will say you don't need winter tires, and while you don't technically need them if you are in an area that gets lots of…
My best guess is that the overwhelming majority of questions he gets are like that. People want something new and are hoping an expert can work some financial magic to get them what they want for less.
While some love the styling the gladiator it still suffers the issues most midsize trucks do. You start to run the numbers, look at the fuel economy and then start to wonder why not just get the full size pickup with more room and sometimes better fuel economy for roughly the same cost. I’m sure more than a people…
Thats really odd to see acceleration that flat under any circumstance. Usually as the air resistance goes up acceleration rate goes down, particuarly over 100mph. It makes me wonder whether to not trust the date, or be really baffled by one more thing in this video.
Mega would be my vote, especially if they could combine them to form a mech that could be used in battle.
Indeed, he should have bought a Toyota Matrix instead
Yeah, or I might have said “If you cant park it buy a smaller car”
Honestly Mazda 3 was what I was thinking when I read the article. Less edge, cheaper, efficient, comfortable and if you got a curvy road you could still have some fun. Best of luck, it sounds like you have a goal driven mentality and I can respect that and I imagine long term you will be happier
As much as I agree with you, restored has almost been misused to the point that to most people it means anything old that looks nice. It doesn't bug me as much as RPMs, even though it's a rate.
Honestly I had to go check the pictures because I figured they were tucked under the seat for the pictures or something but I don't see any evidence in that picture. That surprises me, I feel naked at any speed without a seatbelt on in a car.
I do agree the hood ruins the car. I like most of the rest of it but the hood from the 3/4 front veiw kills it
That seems about right. The first gen had the same 9 1/4 Axel as the full size, they just used inset wheels to make up the difference. About half a dozen times a year we used them like fill size pickups and they work pretty well in that capacity but if that’s how you plan to use it all the time your going to go…
Indeed, I think people drove it had a friend with a neglected automatic one and assumed they all sucked. I had a 2 door 5 speed with the DOHC 2.0 and beat on it for miles. All I did was change the oil and front motormount in regular intervals.
I had a v6 Dakota, moved 7 hours away and it did 75 pulling a trailer with most everything I owned. The drivetrain was great, the brakes were a bit weak until 2002. Had I found a donor I would have swapped I'm the newer bigger brakes.
I owned two and sold my 2001 at well over 200k miles and saw it for a couple years after sale, the guy wanted it to a 70 Mike commute. I miss that pickup and if I didn’t need more capacity I would have kept it.
The American Eagle is the only one I can think of
Honestly I tend to prefer steel wheels on 4x4s, but this combo is especially brilliant.
Honestly I what was surprised to see that, I almost bought basically this truck but 2wd in college and it had the overdrive, at least that is how I remember it. I find it odd they got 4wd in Oregon and we mostly had 2wd forrest service trucks in Montana.
Right, even before diamond star motors in the 90s. From captive imports to parts bin sharing they had a long relationship. I wouldn't call all thier joint work a success, but it did seem like something about Mercedes made Chrysler's cheap cars get heavy, slow and cheaper. I owned a neon and it had endearing…
