I need a bigger truck asap, debating between these two. One is manual, other auto. One needs seats, the other rims.

Inspect the engine bays.  Whichever looks cleaner/more correct, get that one.  160,000 is just about right for a Z head gasket to go, but probably fine being CA and no cold weather driving.

do you think the manual tranny will hold up better? I dont mind an automatic but I do tend to haul alot of heavy ladys crap around. 

 

The 82 looks cleaner but is auto

the 84 looks like a farm truck but manual. I like the look of the 84 with the rims, foglights and grill.  The 82 looks clean as hell but I hate those rims .  ahhhh  both have 160,000

Those years did have a second gear that liked to jam in place.  Datzenmike knows more about than I do.  Supposedly not that hard a fix.  The autos are probably pretty reliable, but that's still 160,000 on an auto.  Wheels can be changed pretty easily.

 

So I just finally bit the bullet and ordered a Megasquirt for the red truck.  Trying my hand at it with the red truck first, then I'll dink around with the 280z turbo motor if that goes well.

Get the '82 automatic. Kept in better shape. If something fucks up you have a good looking truck to build up.
