2K buys 2 diesel vehickles...94 IDI and Mercedes TD 4dr

[riotwarrior]

Was told about this truck about 3 years ago, owner parked it due to bad ball joints and entire fricken chicken wing front end needing rebuild.

It is said that the engine is a rebuilt with just a few thousand K owner is trying to find paper work, it's an auto with AIR!

Also a 4dr Merc td alleged good runner! Hmmm....

So I already checked on the Merc and it's owner said 1200 FIRM, then the truck owner calls me 2000 for both...hmmm...OK so Car is for a buddy for a Land cruiser diesel conversion....

Truck if any good, would be either driven as is and stick a 60 under it, or ....or....pull engine trans...stick in Bronco! Wife cannot handle Std trans any more her knee won't take it.

Her and I need to talk!

I'll try n post a few pics ASAP...

Nope no clutch...I have a stock 6.9 clutch n 4sp as the 5sp is in my 1 ton has ***** for 3rd synchro....Wife n I are discussing subtle change to Bronco build...instead of built big...keep simple and stick E4OD in it for her...some 1tons n 35's about it.

Take the one ton, build it to something else....make it the narly beast...we just have to figure if she's comfortable in the Bronco or not...that's the key
