FS: '86 CC DRW, ATS, GV etc...
EDIT: Truck is now for sale. This post will be linked to in the Classified section.
I've only had the truck since May, and it has been fun to have, but it's a bit impractical. I don't have any trailers to tow, I can't take it 4x4ing because it doesn't have posi-track (and it's 2 wheel drive, duh), I use it to commute and work is less than a mile away (I warm it up longer than it gets driven) and I need something economical for long trips (wifes car just turned over 175k).
I've replaced the IP injectors and return lines (turned up IP 3 flats). I yanked out the radio and put pyro, tranny and boost gauges in its place. I charged the A/C and it sure blows cold! It already had 3" exhaust, but I tore off the muffler and now it sounds fantastic.
It has an ATS non-wastegated turbo (snail shell), C6 auto with a gearvendors splitter, tan interior with a rip where you slide out on both passenger and drivers side front bench. The truck was originally tan and white, but was painted blue. It has a plastic drop-in bedliner and a white metal toolbox. It had a 5th wheel hitch, but was taken out prior to me buying the truck. It also has a normal trailer hitch and brake controller.
Odometer reads 35k, but it could be 135. The truck is in good shape, it just needs tires (previous owner used it to pull cars on a car dolly from St. George Utah to Las Vegas, but didn't use it often. It sat for a month or so.)
I get around 12 mpg in town, but I never go fast enough to use OD, and my trips are very short, and it idles warming up longer than I drive it. I use Shell diesel and Lucas additive to keep everything lubed.
I hate to do it, but we're going to have a baby in a few months then buy a house. I'm using about 2% of this truck and I think someone else should have it that will put it to good use.
What's a good asking price? I want to make back what i've put into it and I thought $3400 would be a good starting point.
I'm going to add some pictures and some videos. I took some videos this afternoon so you could hear the exhaust. That's going to be the part I miss the most. It sure sounds great.
I live in Southern Utah, near St. George.

. But with three trucks already, I'd have to find a new place to live when my wife got thru with me
