Finally got a response from my Thrifty Nickel ad. It was a lady with a 1981 Isuzu Pickup. The truck ran out nice, but the paint was in bad shape, a lot of bare rusty spots. It really needed too much work for me to undertake it. I certainly am not looking for a pristine vehicle, but I would like for the exterior to at least be stable, so I can concentrate on the veggie mods.
Word from my sisters mechanic is 'stick with the German diesels.' I suspect he is right. I intend to zero back in on the Mercedes 300D and the 240D. Extremely reliable vehicles, a lot of parts available and good results already being reported from folks who have done veggie conversions on them.
