btw it's a 6.2L DIESEL :)

I'm sorry. Good luck with the parts, our '85 6.2 we use as a work truck gets parts changed at least once a week. Water pumps, glow plugs, starters, and other various esential parts and the '80s chevy diesels are notorious for eating power steering belts. At least Chevy parts are cheap, which is good since they have to be replaced every other week.

Theres a place for all of God's creatures, right next to the mashed potatoes.

"You could say that a mountain is alot like a woman, once you think you know every inch of her and you're about to dip your skis into some soft, deep powder...Bam, you've got two broken legs, cracked ribs and you pay your $20 just to let her punch your lift ticket all over again"

Yes she is a 4x4. When I was looking I found qutie a few that had zero rust but it was trashed or had a blown tranny or motor.

Mine has a lil bit of rust. My plan is to restore it and drive it forever.

looks like I'll be driving my dad's truck this winter; it's an '89 GMC 3/4 ton. Gets about 12 miles per gallon :cursing:

I haven't had time to go shopping for a winter vehicle. Of course the one I've been drooling over I can't exactly afford! :sad:

Nope didn't get the diesel, depending on how long my wife and I stay in the states maybe we'll get one on our next truck.

Even though I'm more of an International person now I'll always have a place in my book for the Chevy 292 inline 6 and small-block V8! :thumbsup:

Those are bulletproof engines!

but still....they will never outpull a DT466! :wink:

pretty soon I'll be learning to drive again as I'm studying to get a commercial driver's license. Last time I took a test for a driver license was in 1985! :blink:
