Ooops... you said 1971!?! Make that 32 years old. If you do not love to
putter around on vehicles, be wary of the potential for this to become a
money pit.

Feel free to ignore my possibly misguided advice )

Uhhhh... Not to rain on your parade, but...

It might not be because of his own discomfort that he does not want to
drive
it on a hot day. Perhaps I'm too suspicious, but do suggest you see if
this
22 year old work-horse has an overheating problem!

Good luck!

I just had a call from the guy who's selling that 71 ford pickup, he was
calling
from work. He lives down in Newhall area and poor guy doesn't like drive
in / on
hot days. But he's going to see when he's got the time and will drive it
up to
me! to check out, and from what he says, it sounds like two lifters are
gumed
up, which the right stuff into the oil might free up but they are still
workable. It's got current tags on it too. Price is $300 to me. It was
his
dad's
truck and he bought his dad a brand new one, said he first put the ads
out
with
a $1,200 price. No Wonder it's dropped in price. Plus he has to move it
everyday
or get a ticket for it staying in one place and not in the driveway.

So if all the things go right, I'll have wheels again by sunday.

Keep your toes crossed!
