But yes Ive also had to talk my way into things like you did... You get to a point where you wonder if they really want to part with it.

They wanted to make sure the truck went to someone that could put it to good use and had the ability to properly maintain it. I thought for a minute that the guys wife was gonna get emotional. It is a good addition to my fleet as now we have 2 4wds and vehicles that will hold the whole family (4 kids).
Alot of people emailed them on the truck. I figured that I didn't have a chance to get it. Before I met them I thought it might be a scam , considered taking witnesses and a gun incase they were gonna rob me.
Devilish, if you're intersted in the banks truck it will be for sale after I pull the Turbo. It needs some work mostly cosmetic but I did drive it home from Auburn with no trouble.

85hauler I was looking at the pictures and I have to ask something. You living in Cold Springs? The houses kinda look modular. Large backyard and mountains nearby with a little snow. Could be Verdi or Mogul. Could be Spanish Springs too but I don't think there's snow over there.
Sorry for the late reply. Don't know how I missed it.
I live at the very back of Lemmon Valley. No modulars out here.

Yeah, it's a CHEVY!
I thought it was looking crowded around here again! Good job!

that's a hell of a deal, good to see people not just hocking their old trucks off to the first crack head that comes along with the most money. so what progress have you made?
I installed the turbo on the '88 from the '86 F250. Made an intake with a 6637 air filter. Installed gauges (boost/pryo/trans temp) on the pillar. Straight piped exhaust. I installed the 45gal aft tank from the 250 last night. Other than that just maintance items fluids return lines etc. So far it has been a trouble free truck but I've only put a couple thousand miles on it.
I've mostly put the F250 back together with the leftovers from the '88. I still need to put the stock aft tank in then I'm gonna try to sell the '86 F250. If it doesn't sell quick then I'll fix it up (mostly cosmetic) and try to sell again in the spring.
