ggcnash Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 If that makes you guys cringe you would probably vomit, if you saw my dad letting all his boys (3) drive his 69 T/A to school periodically, and yes there were 2 fender benders over the years in it, before he sold it recently.

500 MJ Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Congrats on the purchase! Glad to see you've found CC! What matters most here is that we all share a love for these trucks and respect how we treat them, you are now among friends that you'll probably never meet face to face, but get to know very well! As far as all this young kids talk goes....My kids will start from scratch (with their Dad's help) with something they buy with the money they earn or have saved, just like I did! I learned very quickly how to care for cars that way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodrama43 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 the best thing you can do for the truck is drive it. (but not in the snow and salt in New Jersey) letting vehicles sit like that one has is not good for them. Depending on how long it has sat. The truck has 17k miles and is approximately 336 months old so it has averaged about 51 miles per month. If it was driven 12 miles per week (doubtful) it should be just fine. The tires are obviously not original to the truck but I would look closely at them for dry rot. cracking within the tread lines etc. Depending on how the fuel has been maintained you may want to make sure the tank is not rusted on the inside. Since it was Ziebarted when new there shouldn't be any hidden rust issues but I would still lift the carpet and inspect the floorboards just to be sure. As for the engine I would look at the drive belt for cracking/age issues. The truck was supposedly given a complete tune up and "detailing" prior to being listed on Ebay so hopefully any issues found were addressed appropriately.

budwisr Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Thank you for the reply ,Should I consider Cruiser 54 reccomindation. 1 thru. 5 ? I wouldn't "fix" it if it isn't broke. I have a 87 with 30K that I store during the winter. So far every spring, I throw a battery in it and it fires right up and runs great, Nice truck BTW. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
