Hi, new to the forum, but I’ve been reading a while and decided to join the conversation. I’ve been a shade tree mechanic for years (mostly out of necessity in earlier years). I’ve grown to enjoy working on my vehicles and saving a few bucks, though. Plus I feel like there’s a decent chance I care m…

We have several current-model Ford and GM trucks in our fleet . . . I have found that . . . for my particular bad back . . . the Ford bucket seats are very uncomfortable, no matter how it’s adjusted. No such problems with the GM bucket seats. I spoke with some of my colleagues, and they had the s…

In my neck of the woods, even the oldest, ugliest highest mileage Tacoma would go for WAY more than $300

I’m in Mississippi. Rust isn’t really an issue. I believe the guy could’ve sold the Toyota if he’d spruced it up a bit. I didn’t think it had cupholders until I cleaned it. They were level full of cigar ashes and change and sort of blended in with the rest of the interior. And you know that greasy,…

Scrapyard_John: It was pretty ugly too. It was white, and was one of the ones that had issues with paint flaking off and leaving gray spots. We have a lot of white GM vehicles in our fleet with the same problem Only they’re a LOT newer than your truck

I wonder why it seems like that happens more to the white ones?

They quit making the really good pickup trucks some years back. The really great trucks were the Diamond-T and the International Harvester. The Diamond-T pickups disappeared about 1952. The International pickups lasted into the 1970s.

Haha, yes, I always liked the IH trucks, the later models. I liked the Scouts too. Mainly I liked the way they looked. Those later model IH trucks were just boxes in design. Looked like something I could build out of Lego’s, but sometimes less is more. Still, I doubt I’d want one as a commuter. And…

@db4690 and @Scrapyard_John Take everything Triedaq says with a grain of salt. He still tries to live in the past. He thinks a late model vehicle is any vehicle made after WW II. He leaves the computer on when he isn’t using it just as he leaves lights on all through the house, so that gives me…

Haha, no problem! I live in the past too, but a more recent past. I think a lot of the vehicles made in the late 90’s are in a lot of ways better than the ones made today.

A friend of ours has had a Tundra for a couple years now and really loves it, He needed something to carry the camper and for towing, upgrading from a Tacoma. I don’t think he really even looked at the ford or chevy’s. He’s bought a couple new Toyota’s over the last few years while having one of his…
