The one that got away

[towcat]

Mel,

Come out to California or Arizona where there is very little salt on the roads, and very little rust on the Broncos. I doubt anyone out here would make a sale contingent on a PA inspection, though. An added benefit is not too many people are interested in Broncos out here anymore. They're all buying ricerockets.

+1 on monte's comments.
they're literally unwanted stepchildren out here.
passing a PA inspection is a no-brainer too. unless you live right on the coast, there is no rot issues whatsoever.
they are a favorite with towtruck drivers tho, they can be left parked in ront of a shop for weeks and noone looks twice at them and your gear can easily be thrown in the back section at the end of your shift.

I went to CL for some of them left coast cities.. To quote Geo "Day-um" ya'll got some nice trucks for cheap. I can go weeks without seeing an IDI listed out here. I must have run across a half dozen out there.

fuel injected 460 runs but needs something

I got it..........Replaced by an IDI.

Sweet looking ******* wagon. Haven't seen too many dual battery 460 gassers. Wonder if it saw emergency service in a prior life.

Eww! (Cringe). No vans. No offense to the Van guys. God bless you. I've expanded my search to include 97 F-250/350 extended cab short beds, and 99 and up F-250/350 crew cab short beds, all with gas engines. I need a gas engine truck, so I can process a modified title that will yield a diesel that doesn't require factory diesel emissions.

Mel
just a heads up , the modified/ reconstructed title process is not as easy as before, new law went into effect.

 

[Agnem]

got any details or a pendot link?

 

[pafixitman]

Looks to be the same you had to go through with the other one, however the form was updated 12/06

[h2odrx]

what if you buy it from another state???

 

[Double-S-Diesel]

You now have to be a certified station, along with being a certified inspector.
basic station and inspector can no longer do it.
I was gonna get into it, but too many pa dot hoops to go through.

 

[Agnem]

I'll have to check with S&W.

I'm selling my '73 if your interested. That would make a very cool IDI conversion. Me & the wifey want a 5'er something fierce so it has to go.

 

[Agnem]

Thanks, but I'm trying to go newer not older.

Thanks, but I'm trying to go newer not older.

And you busted my marbles for doing the same thing. Go figure!!

 

[Agnem]

Newer is a relative term.
