well, better thought should update, Truck turned up, no dramas with quarentene. All good. put a battery in, half cup of gas in carb, hit key and started straight up!!! ran ok, leakin a little fuel, but idled ok. was gunna drive it the 6 miles home but wouldn drive under load. towed home and carb was gunked up real bad, (side note, yalls gas smells REAL bad when goes off) anyworries, got carb rebuilt, slammed in some new plugs, new leads and a new coil and runs like a dream!!! smokes the tires real easy!!!

on a down side, got made an offer i couldnt refuse, so i sold it to the guy that works for me. He has some different ideas to mine but hey, its his truck now? i post some pics later.

Go on Roy all you can see is the cab lights

It is a nice truck though - i really want a cab extra now though .... sigh - just got to figure out how to convince the old chook it's a need not a want.

Mark, you can fit a mattress in the back, a small one, but none the less a good reason to get the extra cab....

What does a single cab longbed 4x4 5 speed non turbo diesel go for down there?

the trouble is they are common here in single cab right hand drive, it is too new to drive lhd so need to be converted. i have a guy interested in my white extended cab same as your but rhd, he has a mint 1988 dual cab efi 460 4 speed auto, low mile but lhd and hasnt had a call at $6250. add in the 3800 plus tax to get it here and your gunna lose money. The truck this thread is about can be full registered lhd, they werent available extra cab here so is a rare truck, thats why it sold

Are you intending on finding another SC that vintage to replace the one you sold? Another trip to the states in your future?

Yeah I may look around for one!! I have a container leaving long beach in next week or two, but not enough time to organize import approval!
