yeah bigred, im going to sell the car and get a van or a pickup or something.
tired of driving a car so low to the ground anyway.LOL
i actually restored a 1977 ford F250 4x4 about 5 or 6 years ago, but i had to sell it because even though it was a brand new engine, and i rejetted the carb and everything, it still only got 14mpg. and thats when i was able to stay off the gas. (not very often.LOL)
that thing had room in the engine compartment for two more alternators and probably three more batteries!
i hated to give it up.
anyway, looking at an astro van, 2000-2005 or so, lots of metal, decent gas milage.
take it easy,
