Bought a 2nd Comanche

[TajMan]

My first one is an 87 4X4 I6 longbed automatic with 115,000 miles.

Today I bought an 88 4X4 I6 shortbed manual with 237,000 miles, for only $300!
Beat up body, supposedly ran great before current problems 2 months ago. It needs a battery, and it would overheat so needs a thermostat possibly a radiator.

For $300 not bad, within a week I'll have it fixed and this truck is either going to my dad as a work truck, or going to friend Greg that GAVE me the 1st truck (he'll get the 88 OR $600 from me for 87, later).

Pics tomorrow.

I replaced thermostat, filled some water, installed a different battery. Started right up and runs awesome for a 237K mile work truck! Man I love that manual trans, this one feels great.

For a total of $325 invested, meet Betsy (the cow that wouldn't die, white with brown spots):



1 of my brothers just got his license so Jonathan/my dad are going to buy it from me for $500

not the prettiest, but still a helluva deal, and lots of life left in the old girl

Sweet! I wouldnt mind having an old manual truck... I'd lift it and beat the hell out of it

Good buy Taj! And that truck will make an awesome first vehicle for your bro. I always thought that little trucks make great first cars because they can take the abuse of an inexperienced driver...

Lol...look at the fuel gauge.

[TajMan]

3/4 of a tank for $300? Thats an extra $40 there lol

[bosoxvr420]

That is the largest fuel gauge I have ever seen.

Right, the manual trans truck needs a tach there instead.
My automatic manche has an aftermarket tach in it.
