Drives really slow
God man, that freakin' blows. This is seriously my worst fear. My truck is so old and has so much personal history with me and I've worked on it for so many years, I almost don't want to drive it now because of stupid people.

towcat,
I think that the insurance company is going to end up with what's left of my restored 1986 Lariat.

yARIC008,
I would weep over the car/pickup if it would do any good. - Unfortunately(as I told my lady), tears do NOTHING to help the sad situation.

do a salvage buyback and transfer your parts to the "new" one. it's extremely rare to see even a snowbird F250 looking this nice.

towcat,
At this point, I just don't know what is going to happen to my truck or the MB coupe. = I was told that its remains likely would be sold at public auction by IAA, Inc. of San Antonio. - IF I finally accept the "updated estimate" of the insurance company (which is planned for later in the week), the 2 vehicles WILL be sold at auction & I would have to bid against anyone who wants the wrecks.

that sucks that you can't retain salvage.
otoh, if you like what you see on the CL ad, I certainly can go take a close look at it and refurb it for the trip back to TX.

towcat,
Have you had a chance to even look at the truck "out there"? = THANKS for the kind offer.
It may be needing a little work & it may be a "major project"/MESS, depending on whether the PO took reasonable care of it.
Fwiw, I talked to a guy yesterday PM in Houston whose brother-in-law ruined the engine/AT on a 1991 Lariat (with about 150,000 miles) by NOT doing any maintenance on the PU for YEARS. - He reportedly drove it over 15,000 W/O even changing the oil/filters.
(The guy that I talked to said that he was considering buying a Cummins B & transmission out of a wreck & making the Lariat into a "FUMMINS". - He said that both the Ford engine/AT is "toast".)

i have yet to do a export to the midwest on a idi ford. 1st gen cummins otoh, I've done four so far. It boils down to what you can't find and what you're willing to pay. hell, if you look up "bushpig7" I did a Canadian export to him. Learned much about how NAFTA doesn't work for US/Canada funds transfer. here's a couple photos of the trucks that left kali screaming and kicking.(not really but they knew they were heading to the saltmines.)

Wow. If I didn't already have a back yard full of trucks, I would buy it myself.
satx78247, I know you are in mourning for the wrecked vehicles, but if you really want a replacement truck, this may be it. When they are sold that cheaply around here, it is often because people lack knowledge about diesels, not because there is any enormous problem.

Knuckledragger,
IF it wasn't in Kalifornia, I would have already bought it.
"towcat" (I think) is going to go inspect it for me & to see what it would take to drive it back to San Antonio.

Calvin is a good dude in a loose mood. He is an encyclopedia of IDI information and seems to get a steady stream of trucks from up north. You can rely upon anything he says about the vehicle as both truthful and prudent.
He also is a very fair person to do business with. When my truck was stolen, he had a replacement available for sale -at cost- to me just because I was on the forums.

It's your truck, you don't have to sell it to the insurance co if you don't want to. When someone totaled one of my cars that I wanted to keep, I told them I wanted the amount they were going to give me AND retain the vehicle. They agreed quickly, as it had no value to them.

firehawk,
ALL that I know is that I was told that if I accept the company's final offer that they get the truck/coupe & that I will have to bid on the POV at a public auction.
(I'd like to get the deal that you got, inasmuch as "El Senor Castro, the elder" & my buddy's father is a retired paint & body guy, with over 40 years experience & he said that he CAN fix the PU if it doesn't have a lot of engine damage & the frame is not "trashed". = Whole new front clip, radiator, AC condenser, paint, new emblems, trim, etc.)
