Ok guys, tear it apart

My brother is looking at this truck http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1985...Cars_Trucks&hash=item3f0f388b01#ht_500wt_1182
Tell me what you think of it. He plans on pulling the C6 and putting in his ZF 5 and his Dana 60.

Kinda curious why he has not one pic of the underside if it is truly rust free

Seems weird that the wheels don't match. Do the tires on the front stick out more than the ones in back?

Curious on the engine for sure.

i like it! just according to what vehicles are worth from where your at and if he's buying it to resell or to keep.

Being in Iowa. I am sure it has rust on it somewhere.

truck is a kali transplant. prolly why no IA rust. whoever built it knew what they wanted in a SC 4x4. he should have taken some effort to clean off the tires if he really wanted us to believe the tires have low miles.

Front is always wider than the back, just more noticeable on wider tires
I emailed about receipts, he has none

He will keep it and get rid of his 05 for towing dutys

That is what i was thinking

Says it is a Cali transplant but will not tell me how long it has been in IA. Also kinda funny, he has not one good pic of typical rusty areas to prove it.

And correct of dirty tires, and the whole truck you would think would of been cleaned up before taking pics.




If my brother buys it, I will be flying out and driving it back

If it were closer I would check it out for ya, I saw it was in Iowa, but Adel is still a 3 hour drive from me.

It was first registered in Iowa in August 2007.
I find it odd that it says it's a one owner truck, but the vehicle history report states that it was sold at a dealer auction in 2005.

where does it say one owner? be interesting to know what the reserve is set at. the bid is about what the value of the truck is around home but it says reserve not met, might want a fortune for it.

The dealers diesel should be a good engine. I have the n/a version in my truck and it had been trouble free for 100k. I know the turbo version was all of 6k. Is the miles just for the engine or the whole rig? They seem low to have had a whole engine. Regarding rust I would want pictures but even if it had been in Iowa a long time it would be cleaner than any pa truck. I'm 3hours away otherwise I'd offer to check it out.

Around here that is all the truck would go for too, BUT around here the truck would be rotten to $hit, so a clean one is worth more

I wouldnt say that, i drove a 94 idi service truck that **** the engine out at 50,000 miles. Probably didnt like the turbo an blew its guts at low miles.

What is your deal? About every post you make is to talk trash about the idi. We get it already, you don't like them, so drop it ok?
