I bought a truck. I’ll write up a full thing later but here it is.

A 91 GMC Syclone.

Fire away with questions.

Awesome! Don’t those things have a really low towing capacity?

Towing capacity is good, load capacity in the bed, not so much.

Oh yeah. It pooped out a u joint from the front driveshaft about 20 minutes after buying it. I’ve got a new driveshaft going in. Otherwise it’s solid mechanically.

It’s all body. I’m having it repainted and buying the couple missing cladding pieces.

Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease?

I have no clue really. I know you can’t put more than 500 in the bed. I don’t plan on towing with it.

Huh. The only small truck in ‘91 that was faster than a 4.0 MJ.

I promise I’m only a little jealous. Take care of it.

Do you think you’ll be able to bring it to KC cars & coffee in a couple weeks? Please and thank you...

But not a fan of the Firebird wheels. LOL.

I was in high school when these came out. one of the (spoiled brat) guys in my class had one, which his mom and dad obviously bought him. I think in the first few months he trashed multiple transmissions and engines.

In short: teenagers are worthless pieces of shit who will destroy anything you give them.

It won’t be in a couple weeks. It’s headed to paint in early June. Possibly after that.

Jay Lauer > jimz
04/18/2016 at 21:43

Maybe some. I think we all did dumb things in high school.

Just some more costly than others.

I’m jealous. These will most likely just appreciate in value as time goes on.

Should bring it as is! You think anyone cares about the paint? I just want to drool on it, so your best bet is to bring it beforehand. GDAMN hero is what you are.

It runs right?

I’d normally agree with you, but it’s in Wichita right now at my father’s shop with most all my other cars.

I’d bring it to Wichita C&C if it lines up right.
