TajMan Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 My #1 truck was acquired a month ago, I've been through hell and back already on this BIG project. Its driving pretty good now, ready for paint soon and suspension work/wheels later: That one is an '87 Comanche Pioneer 4X4 I6 automatic trans longbed with only 115,000 miles. Tonight I picked up a 2nd MJ. I saw it in Craigslist, I snatched it up quick and got it for only $300!! Still need to tow it home. Its an '88 Comanche 4X4 I6 manual trans shortbed. It has 237,000 miles yeah thats high but its just a beat up body work truck and supposedly ran great except its current problems. It needs a battery, and it overheats, so needs a thermostat and just POSSIBLY a radiator. For $300 I think a great deal, it will be fixed and probably out of my hands in 1 week. Its either going to my father as a work truck, or to the guy who GAVE me the 1st manche(needing head rebuild at that time). That friend will either get this truck running or he'll get $600 for the 1st broken manche he gave me. Pics of this 1 tomorrow hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TajMan Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share Posted November 18, 2007 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TajMan Posted November 19, 2007 Author Share Posted November 19, 2007 I've got an 89 Chrysler Conquest Tsi. 6th turbocharged Mitsubishi car I've owned. I got it broken, spent 1 month fixing motor/turbo/things. Drove it for 2,000 miles and motor crapped out on me. Pulled motor/trans/etc and sold stuff I didn't want. Car is stored now until the day I have some money, it will get a supercharged or turbocharged LSx V8 in it, 500-600HP, T-56 or TH400 tranny. I paint and will be painting my 87 Comanche, the Conquest. The 88 Comanche died and wouldn't start. I messed with crank angle sensor plug, got it going again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
