Cant wait to see pics of your new truck! Glad to see another CC making its way onto the OB.

Ok, I took like 15 pictures of the truck, but as I am NOT a hi-tech redneck, my new phone didn't save them all.

Here is what I got.

The interior is in like new condition. There are a couple spots that will need attention on the body, but WHO CARES?!

It's a running, crew cab!! For $1200!!!! All the doors, sills, door jams, floor, roof, bed underside, inside and EVERYTHING is just MINT!!!

Nice find. So please tell those of us why it sat for as long as it di. Sure is nice to save another one....

The story goes a couple out west owned it, and all it did was haul a camper. The hitch has been removed as you can see in the pics. I have another to replace it with.

Anyways, they moved to Ontario and the truck was only used once in a while, then they moved to Nova Scotia and got a divorce.

The truck was registered in BOTH of their names, so she had her lawyers fight for her half of the truck. The guy would have paid it, but get this......her lawyers valued HER HALF at $10 000!!!! That would make this truck worth $20 000. I wish I could find her lawyer so I could sell it to him for $20 000 right now!!!!

Anyways, she lost the truck, and got mad.......now the tires are flat. Apparently she came over and sliced all 4 tires sidewalls out. The back ones were BRAND NEW and the front ones were still in fair shape.

The guy that owns it now, bought it, trailered it to his place last fall and there she sat. He wasn't really listing it for sale, but I seen it as a truck in a Kijiji (craigslist type site) and I inquired......$1200 later and she was mine!!

Geez that thing is MINT...nice find!

Goofy, you can always do a carfax and find out how many owners there were to see if the guy was honest

Good looking rig man. I want a cc so bad.

I couldn't believe this!!!!

I am not saying that someone hasn't changed it, but the door tag says that from the factory this truck came with 3.55's.

I was sure as **** that this would have 4.10's as it only has a 351 and an E4OD....I know saying ONLY a 351 is like saying a corvette ONLY had a 351....but I figgured that this tank would have come with 4.10's.

Oh well, I got to get it home, pull teh back cover and confirm, then put a new cover on it, new fluid in it and then start the D60 conversion up front.

I am putting the 4" blocks under the rear springs, after I add one or three leafs to them (AND it has overload helpers as well!!) and I have to shim my driveshaft support bearing down some.

The frame is in tip top shape, but I am going to pull the COMPLETE front clip to remove the 351, and that E4OD. I have to anyways to do the 4x4 front end conversion AND install a diesel radiator support.

The front fenders have a couple little blisters down on the dog leg....and for the price that I can get fenders for (under $80 a piece) I might as well just stick new fenders on it. I know what you all are thinking, but I might as well as I want this truck to stay together for at LEAST 6 - 10 years....it HAS to!!

Other than the little bit of wiring for the tach and gauges I already have this thing's **** kicked. One thing I am not too sure of is the engine crossmember. I KNOW I will have to drill the track bar bracket holes in it, but don't I have to notch it up top for the oil cooler/filter or something? It should already have the holes for the diesel plates in it, I just have to knock loose the gas V8 engine pads behind it.....thank god for rivets

Yank back the carpet, put my 5 speed floor pan in there, yank the pedals, install the 5 speed pedals and then that's all the body modifications I need to do.

So much work to do, and only so much beer to drink!!!

Are you going to drive it home or trailer it? Bjorn can fit that on his gooseneck trailer and he wouldn't **** you on the price....He hauled the 93 F350 CC 4x4 home that your D60 axle was removed from....It fit nice on his tri-axle trailer. There is nothing sitting in front of the 94 F250 4x4 in my yard, we hauled the deck off the dodge away yesterday - sold it for $400.....I spent $1200 to buy the old dodge and so far I've made $850 back and I still have a crap load of parts left to sell....I'm going to make money on that pile of junk and get the Cummins for free.....Your spare 7.3 works great in my truck....I hauled 2+ cords of 1/2 dry spruce yesterday with John's car trailer in tow from Tantallon....No problem hauling that at all....We had it piled/chained 3ft above my greedy boards going up a STEEP driveway in 4LO...She was crawling like a farm tractor.

That's definitly some good news hat the old 7.3 is still chuggin along! I was just gonna drive it, but the more I think about it the more I want to have it trailered. I just might have Bjorn haul it for me....that way if it breaks down I won't have to scrounge and wait a couple hours for a truck and trailer to show up.

I got a couple payments left to make on the old girl, then I gotta start paying that 7.3 IDI T in your yard off. I want to get it pulled, loaded into the F250 and bring it home. That way I have both pieces of hardware sittin in my yard and then I can start the big teardowns..I want to get this thing all ripped apart, and put together ONCE so I can walk away from it and just drive it with no problems.

When are you starting on that Fummins project? You KNOW I want to get greasy and oily on that swap!!

Well, right now I'm working on the old Mercury trying to get he ready for this summer....The big dodge cash job is here again too, the IP took to leaking worse than ever so I took it off and Stairs is rebuilding it right now...They are turning it up 20% over stock on the test bench. Once it's up and running again this week there will be an empty bay in the garage if you want to pull the engine and trans from that truck - the sooner the better but the time in the garage has to be quick so I have a place to work on my own crap should something need attention. Once the Merc is done and I make some changes to the wood splitter I will start on the trans adapter fabrication - this is why I bought that big drill press. I'll run the 7.3 until then as it seems to work great, snowplowing is over I would say so now it's just going to run when the odd trucking job comes my way.

 

[Goofyexponent]

I tell ya, over the last 3 weeks things up here have been HELL!!!! I got that ATV almost completely rebuilt....it runs like a cat with it's tail on fire now...you have to watch that the front wheels don't lift when you take off!!!

MY grandmother has been in the hospital for the past week or so....unfortunatly we do not expect her to make it out. It's a hard thing to say, but she is on a breathing tube on 100% oxygen, and she has a LOT of fluid buildup around her lungs from a heart problem. We have been back and forth to Truro between work and time in the shop.

Speaking of the shop...my truck decided to cough up two rear wheel seals....one at a time, and although I almost got the rearend I had laying around rebuilt to put back into her, I am lagging behind!! lol

I got the proper length front driveshaft for the ZF install.....now that all the snow is gone and I don't need it, but I don't have the proper yoke on the T case....it's smaller, so now I need to track down an F350 T case to swap yokes, or just buy a new case to throw in my truck.

THEN I had to buy a new phone......mine screwed up in a BAD way, it was old as hell so I can't complain. The old phone is laying on the side of the 102 highway at the 101 interchange.. lol.
