i was in the market for a trailer to haul my dirtbike that i could tow with my impala, long story short i ended up buying this truck for 250.00 from my mechanic. its a 1991 4.3 4x4 wk 1500 with 190000 miles. the pulley on the power steering pump broke throwing the belt and he decided to buy a new truck and let me take this one. the bad is it has some surface rust , no holes and it need a rear sliding window and maybe a torsion bar or something. it pulls to the right alittle. the good is it starts easily, and drives nice and only cost me 20.00 a month for insurace. anything i should know about these trucks?

They are a very reliable truck, and a nice steal at $250. Auto or Stick?

I would start working on that rust before it does turn into holes. Other than that, good buy.
