I'd want to step back a little: 1980 Chevy Luv 4WD, MT.
I had one, it worked very nicely for me. Only thing I didn't like was having to clean and set the points. Once a week, generally, although if I didn't drive it too much, I could stretch it out to once a month.
I take that back, it had another problem. It would drift out of 4th gear as I drove it. Maybe a few miles. I never did figure out the problem. Stupidly, I took it to Midas, in Yuma. They stole my jack, and tool box I kept behind the seat. They didn't fix the problem, but did make it so that the back up lights no longer worked, and the trans no longer would shift into 4H. I took it back, they did fix the back up lights, but none f the rest. They tried to charge me $1200.00. I didn't pay them, and when the corporate office called me, I told them what happened. They told me that there was no longer any charge, and I found out both the guys that worked there got fired. I still didn't take it back. Eventually I turned it in for $2000.00 trade in on my 1987 Toyota Hilux. I still have it, and I love that little truck. We've been through a LOT together since I got it. When I give it up, it goes to my middle daughter. She learned to drive in it, learned to worked on vehicles, and wants her sons to learn MT in it.
Anywho, that's my choice, the Chevy Luv.
