Pick em up truck

[The Highlander]

Nope, not yet.

Make sure you have them.

If you think about changing the exterior color, don't forget the interior won't match.

 

[Calvin]

Just noticed you have a manual stick shift.... I would assume it is a in-line 6 cylinder engine.... 300 CID?

 

[Bottesini]

I think the color should be the orange/yellow typical of the period, and camo seat covers.

Redneck don't care about match. I thought you know that.

I know, I told my wife that - she said she didn't mind.

Also, my son TJ, has been grabbing at anything that is red. He got VERY excited when I took them for a ride around the neighborhood. (it was really funny)

He would look around the whole cab, squeal, then jump up and down in his car seat, then repeat.

Yes sir

 

[TinCanSailor]

Yes, I am sure. There is an old service sticker from an oil change dated 2011 and it had 42,000 miles then (belonged to the seller's mother until she gave it to him in 2011)

The proof should be what the seller put in the odometer block on the back of the title.

Yes sir

straight 6 is a good engine ... you can pull with it if needed it puts out more torque than some v8's do ... and will run forever.

It's on the title ... but the old service sticker just reaffirms it (His mother was the original owner)

It has a bumper hitch. I want to attach one to the frame. I have an old hitch mount that attaches to a frame and will see if it fits sometime this week.

I love that I6. I don't understand why STUPID Ford don't made I6 anymore and use V8 for diesel which not great for torque and headache for maintenance, overhaul, repair, etc. I don't care about save money from CNC because V8 is shorter than I6 for engine block.


I6, You can take piston out without pull engine off from the truck and much quick than V6.

99% of semi-trucks are I6 and I have no problem with them for easy maintenance as full services ,mid-grease and minor. Few V8 from small trucks and gave me headache to replace the damn fuel filter and water filter for diesel.

Only one truck still use I6 is Dodge 2500 or bigger with Cummin. It's last around 500k-800k mileage till overhaul.

 

[Steinhauer]

I decided on a color ... burnt orange metallic

And this is the color layout I have in mind (the ivory white)

And there will also be an ivory white stripe on the side where the groove is.

I am also going to keep an eye out for a better bench seat, or seat covers. I will take the red carpet out and put thick rubber matting down. Possibly paint the interior trim the same ivory color ... gonna have to really think about that. There is no replacing the carpet on the doors, or the ceiling cushioning. All red ...

 

[Steinhauer]

Yes, Botti, I was thinking about your suggestion, and I like it

 

[Bottesini]

Yes, Botti, I was thinking about your suggestion, and I like it

I know, I know! If only people would always just pay attention to me the first time, the world would run smoothly... :P

Ford isn't alone, GM, Dodge and Jeep same thing. They had to scrap I6 gasoline engine just to make EPA agents happy.

I know exactly what you are talking about, I love my old 4.0L I6 by Jeep.

Back to fact, Even if it is 4.0 liter on both engine I6 will pollute air much dirtier than V6.

I don't understand how we could accomplish with global clean air when China don't give a damn about it, they are much, much dirtier than us.

BTW Stein, very nice and old truck.

 

[Steinhauer]

Could someone explain where the bleeder is for the clutch reservoir?

I want to change all the fluids .. including differential. transmission looks to be recently changed.

 

[diehardbiker]

I know what you mean, not many have hydraulic clutch. I had em before, and never thought of bleeding. BUT for my motorcycle that got hydraulic clutch, there is valve on top of the clutch intended to bleed out brake fluid.

Perhaps you should go over Ford forums and find out. You would get better informative over there than here. I go over there for any repair issues on my Ford. Never go over general forum (Like this one) for auto repairs.

[whatdidyousay!]

Camo?

planet green?

Hot pink?

I really like the truck that hot pink , I am not talking about the color , I mean the truck itself . It's very cool looking. I like the round hood .
