Just a lil' gloating

It needed a serious bath and a couple injectors. But I should have it going soon.

Oh, it has gooseneck rails in the floor, 100 gal tank in rear, airbags for the rear axle, 12 disc CD changer and a Kicker amp and good hides all around.

How'd I do?

shes a beauty

 

[bbjordan]

Nice! Song? More like stole it.

 

[ckelly94]

You commited a felony (stole it).....that's a really nice looking truck.

 

[86ford69]

Wow thats awesome! I thought my dad got a deal. He just picked up a 96 reg cab long bed. Mint condition never towed or hauled anything with 180,000 and sat in a bran with a new paint for a yr. He paid 5 grand. Retail on this thing 7,500. But you stole that beauty!!!!

 

[86ford69]

Oh and its a dually.

Update:

Well here's the down side to my deal. I began the task of changing the oil.......And........ found out that there was a LOT of water from sitting without a valve cover in place. So, tomorrow is take the motor out and clean the pan day. *silver lining* I will get to see the condition of the clutch and other stuff. As well as change the rear main and pilot bearing while I'm there.

Sweet! Great lookin truck! Even with the prob you found, $900 is still a steal. Keep us posted

Nice clean truck. How many miles

 

[janos1]

That's the bummer. 386K miles, but I am looking around for a core to build another. I figure that a couple grand in a fresh motor is far cheaper than a payment EVERY month.

 

[tonkadoctor]

Nice score even if it needs a whole new engine.

If your pulling the motor you might just overhaul it while your at it, I cant imagine rings, berings, oil pump and a valve job would set you back too much.

At this point in time it would. I need to get it running because I have other issues to address.

Man that's a nice looking truck. Great deal no matter what it takes to make it run.
Oh, and it only takes $550 to fill it up.

In Ohio here, Pilot $4.159 cash, Flying J $4.159 cash, credit was $4.259 both places.

Speedway $4.059 cash or credit. All three were at Beaverdamn truck stops on I-75. Guess where I filled up.

I'm half tempted to do a WVO conversion on it later. (When I get some more $$.)
