    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Thanks for the input. I've definitely thought about keeping it. Its just a great running fun truck to drive, go fishing, hunting, haul stuff around. The interior is really nice and its straight and rust free.

    What’s IT Worth? (Post all “what’s it worth threads here)

    Thinking about selling my 87 R10 long bed 2wd in AL. Highly original. My family bought it from the original owner's 92 year old farmer estate sale. Local AL truck with 110,000 miles. I've owned about 4 years and put about 8,000 miles on it. Straight truck with no rust. Great interior...

    Brake bleed hose

    Anyone know the size hose needed to cover the bleed screw to bleed brakes on 87 R10? Harbor freight brake bleed kits are not very highly rated, probably just do it with just a hose and pumping brakes.

    water leak into cab through floor vent over brake pedal

    I recently chased down 3 small similar leaks. I'm not sure this will help but one thing I learned was to slooowwly add water to one location at a time to eliminate entry spots. I focused on the cowl by putting a water hose at the cowl screen with slow water coming out of the hose and avoided...

    interior parts recommendations?

    I just installed carpet from LMC. Good quality and good color match. An extra roll of insulation is well worth the money because the carpet is only insulated under the driver and passenger feet. Not long ago installed rubber door and hood seals from Brothers Truck. Really thick good...

    Yeah, it was best case highway conditions. I'm guessing local city driving would be more like 13-14
