new guy
« on: April 25, 2010, 08:43:05 am »
hey. im new. i dont have a truck yet, but im looking.  im gonna have to get either a 73, 74 or 75 because in the county where i live the truck has to pass an emissions test if its newer than 75. so ill go older to keep from having to do that.  im looking for a 2wd shortbed.  i built a 93 shortbed in the past that was in the magazines and all that.  im kinda past that and just want a cool truck that i can use as a truck and that looks cool.  thanks.

Dunno where you are, but in California you dont need to smog a diesel. Could get one and swap it out for a 350 or 383 or 454 and be good.
