I just want to thank everyone for the advise over the last 5 months.

I just had my cab delivered this week from California. It's a '99 with 47k, manual and it's silver over black.
I did an oil change right away and cut the filter apart and found no metal fragments. It has a new clutch and they did the RMS/IMS, so I wasn't expecting to see anything. It came with all of the maintenance records.

I have to say after reading up and looking at countless cars, I think it rocks.
I haven't had a chance to crank it up yet, but at 110 it was smooth as silk.
Loving it so far.

Here are few pictures.

Congrats and welcome. Bonus that seller shipped the matching hardtop with the car
P.S. Got any mods planned yet? Paint the bumperettes for starters?

Thanks, looking for ward to a nice long summer of driving. No mods planned yet, but I'm sure I something will come around.

Welcome and congrats....nice ride !!

Just a little confused:
"I haven't had a chance to crank it up yet, but at 110 it was smooth as silk."

If you made it to 110 mph, you must have cranked it !!

And the first mod should be the muffler partial bypass (aka Fister).....with the top down....ohhhh boy......sweeeet music coming from the tail pipes....do not know what it is?.....do a search....
