I guess it's each to his own! I am sure each of us has reasons that he owns, and drives what he does, For many years I traded every 2 to 3 yrs for a new Ford, but I had a good job with Boeing, and most people I worked with, was doing the same thing. Then prices started getting rediculos, and I bought this 10 acre place, and wanted to pay it down before I retired, so it would be manageable, when I did retire. I found an 80 dodge short bed that had an exceptional body, but a worn out 318, and bought it cheap. I went to the wrecking yard and bought a low mileage 89 318, which was the newest I could find at the time. I put the motor in, and took the truck to a paint shop, and had it sprayed, with new paint and clear coat. I then took it to Les Schwab tire shop, and had them replace any worn steering parts, and balljoints, and bearings,and give it an alignment. After 4 new tires, I had a total of $2300.00 wrapped up in it. Try buying a new truck for that in 2000! I have put a set of brakes on it, one U joint, and countless lube jobs, and oil changes,since 2000, and It has done all my comuting, along with feed hauling,seed trips down to Oregon, and used it to go to Popular Bluffs Mo. this past summer to see my son. When, and if it starts using oil, or loosing power, then I have the original motor setting on a pallet in the shop, covered up after being overhauled several yr's ago. By the time I need it I will probably have to have one of my grandsons install it!
