Opinions will be appreciate even smart ass comments! :lol:
 Keep it! you wont be sorry if you do. By the way, I get 13 mpg.

Not a bad ride Dave, alright I'll keep it, I'm sure once I get done what I want done the gas milage will improve on it. I had to clean up the wiring cause it was a mess and I only had it since January, I got it cause I needed something at the moment cause mom's car was in the shop so it was either buy that or walk everywhere. Was it a bad deal no because my cousin had it but I do know the clutch has been replaced cause I replaced it myself when it went out on me, I know the fuel stuff is new but not sure about the engine though. The only way I'm getting rid of my truck is when I get my 79 El Camino!

Yeah my line came off the canister that is under the hood, I was heading home and next thing you know my truck died on me, and when I tried to start it I could smell fuel and seen a big puddle so I put the line back on and haven't had any problems since. I got some plans for that truck that I think I can complete by the end of the year but it may not add any trade in value to the truck whenever I do decide to sell it.

Actually I decided when I get this job when I turn 18 I'm gonna trade in my truck for a 00-newer Chevy/GMC 1500 ext cab. Maybe I'll get a Chevy/GMC 2500 with the duramax diesel. I haven't decided, I prefer the diesel for the fuel economy.
