If that ever happens, I'll rig up a player to a small solar cell and
battery to randomely serenade the old trucks with Neil Young's "Long
May You Run"


Get the Emmylou Harris version

Those were great little trucks

attempt at emission control but I left it all off when I changed a
head gasket and the truck was much more efficient without it.

Doubt it very seriously... you probably had a clogged line
or vacuum leak long before you took it all off. Those
systems were actually quite good when working properly. They
were a bit on the fragile side though.



Seems like I paid about $2800 for it brand new. Sold it for $600.
Let's see that would be about eighty bucks a year depreciation
expense.


It works out to be a great deal if you break it down by
ton/miles per $. Those things got pretty good gas mileage too.
