Just joined a few days ago...
I am in Sacramento California on assignment for the Feds. I usually fly out to a job and buy a clean vehicle to drive home.
I have been looking for a decent rig to purchase for the last 2 months. Craigslist SUX!!!
I have been punked so many times.
I made appointments to see vehicles, drove 160 miles in some cases and the ahole sold the vehicle.
This happened a few times.

Well... finally found something I could buy.

1979 D50, 136K original miles, 2 owner truck. Original paint that is in great shape (!) and untouched otherwise. No accidents and every receipt for work done including smog receipts and owner manual. It has the 2.0 liter even port engine with a noisy 4 speed tranny and a recent clutch assembly. The owner(s) did crazy maintenance on it. Even changed the anti freeze at the correct mileage interval.
The AM radio even works!
So - my plans?
Mikuni makes amazing motorcycle carbs, but for cars/trucks? NO.
They are great when new, but as time goes by, they SUCK!!!
This truck is no exception. I ordered a Weber for it the next day after I bought it.
I am planning to go from 14" weenies to 16" wheels with z rated tires. Isuzu has the same lug bolt pattern and they have a nice factory 16x7 factory wheel that has the correct offset and center hole to fit this truck.
I am looking for a KM132 5 speed transmission to replace the noisy 4 speed. The main input bearing on the 4 speed is junk.
If anyone has a good 5 speed that fits this truck, ping me please.
I might even have one, but it's in New York in one of my barns and I'm in California.
This is turning into a novel, I will add more later.

Tried to load a pic of this rig, but it keeps failing.
