It's funny how quickly old vehicles drain the wallet. I bought my 86 D-100 as a runner with a very good body.
It left me with a dead battery, so I dug in. Alternator OK, so a new voltage regulartor was installed. Problem solved, I thought. Now I have a bad battery.
Changed the front pads due to a very bad pull and vibration from the brakes. That was amazingly expensive compared to the minivan. Now the brakes are causing the truck to hop.
The wiring is a mess, it needs a full exhaust system to replace the glasspack, the radio doesn't work, the heat, kind of works, and it needs rear brakes, along with many cosmetics, which really should wait until all the safety and operational repairs are made.
Yet, I still love to drive it. Don't know if it will get me there and back, but I love to drive it.
