Bought this beauty in Bozeman MT while working in Yellowstone NP over the summer. Was driving a Mazda 626 but the engine was overheated by my trusty copilot and shot my rod bearings so I needed something to get me back home. Enter the brown bomber. Had 138k when I picked her up. She needed some work but nothing major aside from the bearings in the diff going out (I didn't know it at the time) and she got me home fine and now I'm spending the winter giving her as much tlc and shiny new parts I can afford before taking her back home in the spring. Yeah, I'm a truck guy now.
