    Ha. I kinda want to also. I would love to have the extended cab.

    Took most of the day to really detail clean the engine bay and make sure everything looked serviceable. The timing belt looks fine afterall so i won't replace it right away, but i'll still look for a replacement. The timing looked fine on the main belt, i couldn't figure out how to get the lower cover off to check the "B" belt.
    But most of the engine is now clean. I couldn't get some of the crud on the side behind the fuel injector, its really caked and baked on. The entire underside of the engine and suspension looks as caked. I don't think i'll be able to truly clean it without pulling the engine and taking off the cab and bed. Maybe some other time. For now i got it clean enough to run, just need to get some new fan belts, flush allt he fluids, and hope it fires up.

    Tires have been a bit harder than i anticipated. I didn't realize R14 were so scarce now. Plenty of 16s around, but i don't see those fitting without modifying the suspension.
