Bought a beater!

I got a 1988 Mazda B2200 today. $550. Started after we jumped it. Ran good, shifted good. Got the cash paid for it and I didnt even make it off his street before it died (I killed it though). Push it back onto the street since it was in the middle of a intersection that cross traffic was 45mph. Gouldnt get it started. Think the cables were bad. Used the Jump box and got it going after fighting it for about 15 mins. get it to my buddies house and swap the battery (trolling motor battery, but needed something) and it wont start. Get it going and its screeching. The nosie stops and its running fine, I look down and the crank pulley is wobbling. So it needs a pulley and or a balancer and a battery.

It only has 1674XX on it and runs ok after you get it going. Needs timed and carb cleaned but the motor has been rebuilt, replaced head not to long before they stopped driving it. It sat for 4 years. BUT after I get it tuned in and fix the pulley its going to be a great beater.

Extended cab too!

Just thought I would share my day. Ill have pics this weekend and hope I can get it running right.
