Look at what I found

Caddy Dimensions are down toward the bottom


Looks like it is 1050mm wide x 1050mm long which is slightly more than 4'x4'. Drop the tailgate and you gain another roughly 385mm, or 1.5'. I've also found that 800 to 900lbs in the bed is about it when you throw a couple adults in the passenger area.

Here's my diesel powered beast. Yes, they will haul up to 1000 pounds on a good day.

That is VERY clean dubdoc. I saw one here in the Boise area and the guy wanted about $5,000 for it. Looked as clean as yours and the same color.

Thanks. There aren't a lot left in good shape. If it was a diesel, it's certainly worth $5000. They didn't, however, come with a turbo, so stock, they're a little slow.

Thanks for all the kind words. At present, she's giving me 65-70mpg Canadian. The new engine should be more efficient, but also capable of tire-roasting power. It will be a 2 liter and will be balanced, ported, have all ARP studs, a larger turbo, a Giles performance pump and a 2.5" downpipe and exhaust.
