, I drove up too look at it, it was a NewYork truck with some rust issues, but I ended up trading a beater 78 CJ7 I had bought from a guy for 800 ish dollars he couldn't get it running right and wasn't a mechanic. I found the problem straight away and told him I could fix it for free he was just over it... So I drove it for 3 years, traded it straight up for the IDI with at the time 38K miles on it, without a doubt the best most reliable rig I own it gets 17MPG in town, and up to 21MPG n hiway its no power house but a good truck to learn about diesels and all the pros and cons of owning one. It can haul reasonable loads is comfortable to drive just a joy to own. But there are cons but that's everything, swaping out motors and vehicles is painfull time consuming and expensive but its a great learning process.
