Hey all!
Thanks to all of you that helped me find a diesel for commuting. Now I
won't have to rely on my hotrod to get me back and forth to work and keep
from putting unnecessary miles on it. Ended up finding a 81 pickup with GTI
wheels, straight body, perfect glass, and (big bonus) tinted turn signal
lenses. The engine starts up and runs perfect but gets hot after about 5
minutes of idling. The current owner thinks it is a head gasket and has a
head set that goes with it but could be a stuck t-stat (probably not but I
can hope!! Worst case scenerio it is a crack somewhere. Maybe I'll borrow
or buy someone's block tester and check it out first.
All of this for the dirt cheap price of $500. Pretty good deal for a pickup
in this condition. Again, thanks all!
Dave
