sweet, we have a 1969 50cc.. pops wants it stock cause its worth more. but there are no plans to sell. love that there are so many more sites out to help fix these up and parts. (they do make a super charger kit also)
For some stuff that's true, but between myself (a passable mechanic) and my brother-in-law (a damn good mechanic), we can handle almost anything it'll need work-wise. I did a lot of online digging for misc common part costs, and surprisingly a lot of it is pretty close to any typical vehicle these days. One thing I've had to replace on many vehicles is front wheel bearings...so I looked that up, and this thing is old school on that. Every vehicle I've had to replace that on in the last 15-20 years required swapping out the entire hub assembly - and that can really SUCK when they are good and stuck - but this just requires changing the roller bearing itself. Yes, the bearing is about $80, but that's less than I've spent on most hubs I've had to buy. Plus, it's in great shape, and relatively low miles, so I decided to take the chance. I only drive about 6,000 to 8,000 miles per year. There will be some misc stuff to deal with, like any vehicle, but I think unless something big like the trans goes, I should be ok. That's another thing I looked up before buying...this trans is supposedly pretty much bulletproof unless you do something really stupid to it, and I'm not a crazy driver.hugger19 wrote:be carefull maintance on that truck is triple the cost of that old ford u had. i know guys that work on those and the smallest parts are crazy money!
