Greetings to all ISTR members! I hail from Southern Missouri, about 60 miles due East of Branson. I have a chance to buy a '92 Ty from it's original owner, who is a good friend. He has recently spent a fair sum of money ( at his local GMC dealer. 😩 ) trying to get the truck to run properly. I believe that it is mostly stock, with maybe an aftermarket chip in it. It has about 70,000 miles on the odometer. The recent work was replacing the fuel tank, pump, and injectors, with little change in the running condition afterwards. It has now been sitting a few months.
The Ty is Black on Black Cladding, with some peeling of the clear coat on the roof and hood. The interior is said to be in very good condition. The truck is in Texas, and the asking price is pretty low. However, after researching these great trucks on this, and many other sites, it is hard to realistically project just how much time and money it may take to return the Typhoon to great, reliable running status. There seems to be very few parts to be had, when replacements are needed. Of course, most old car projects are like this. If any of you can point me towards some places near my region that might be able to help me check out this truck, if I go get it, please let me know. Thanks!
