Now THAT is a great truck! Since it was built before '73 it won't have any smog equipment garbage to figure out. Simple mechanics. Love it.

A lesser known tidbit of trivia about jAne: In my single days I used to do my own tune-ups and oil changes on my vehicles:

'72 Pinto Squire Wagon
(hey, it was paid for!)

'72 VW Bug
(loved that vehicle!)

Love the truck. :o)

Fantastic hands-on course! Love home-schooling. One year our daughter did a couse using the Army Survival manual. Learned alot from that!
