or so i've been told :lol:

bought my 1980 mikado last week for 200 bucks. put a fuel pump on it and drove it home.goes fine down the road but when idling with the air cleaner off i can see the second barrel dripping and the primmary sputtering.the carb is going to need rebuilt or beat with a big hammer...not sure which yet. :roll:

bed floors swiss cheesed a little bit and passenger door kick panel has beer can size hole.neatest thing is the turbine style wheels on it. i get some pics of it when i can find my camera but it pretty much looks like every other spray painted black stock luv you have ever seen.already looking for a v6 and got a line on a stepside bed.

in your engine picture it looks as if the A.I.R. port isn't plugged. It looks to be a great lil truck for the price.
