[Rhodes22-list] Looking for Owners in New Jersey ?

Mon Jan 8 17:04:27 EST 2007

Dan, I hate to sound like ed but look at the FAQ's this subject has been 
extensively covered.  I have an 86 with is steel trailer.  I made the 
assumption that total rig was +- 5000.  As far a 6 cylinders the Chevy S10 
with a straight 6 has the best numbers and gear ratios at the time I was 
looking.  Ended up with at Tahoe - wanted one anyway.  It is like driving 
your couch around, I love it.  Bob
