I hate you guys

That truck looks real ruff:Flush:

Got a reply from the seller. You guys where right that thing is sure in bad shape. Front end got rebuilt after a bit or "hard" offroading as he described it. I say it was alot worse than hard since the crossover needed replacing as well. He said brakes on have 20K on them and he only has the tire for one side. The only good thing in there is the interior.

So my verdict will be pass on it it. Call it a spur of the moment if you will :mad2: Gotta get my head back in the game! Perhaps sometime down the road I'll find another 6.5 to play with. Thanks for putting me back on track guys :thumbsup:

You're friends will always steer you straight! If you bought it yesterday, this morning it would have been like waking up with a big fat nasty bar animal coughing, hacking, and drooling all over your pillow, with that stale smell of booze still coming out of her nasty, half snoring, half caughing mouth that you did who knows what to last night, and to boot, you have a headache to deal with also.

Buy it!

If not, tell Justin...he needs another one ):h

I dont know about that ):h

A clean truck with no rust and nice interior is easily worth $1000 with blown engine. However you can probably find one for $3000 running. If you want your own engine project which is a better deal? It was obviously running good enough after the off road incident that they replaced all the parts, but then like usual with someone that doesnt know how to care for a 6.5 blew the engine. Sounds pretty normal to me, what truck is perfect?

haha and I do appreciate it:thumbsup: Toughest part is the winter time for me. Often I find myself waiting for parts(like now) and the cold weather tends to drop my motivation to want to do anything outside. So I'll go hunting for something else to do and usually get distracted by something that seems like a cool idea(like this) And it ends up hurting me in the long run.

What I really gotta do is finish the suspension, wheels and tires, then start working on that high fuel economy daily driver I need for work if everything works out the way I want it too

I didn't vote because I am pathologically indecisive. But I know exactly what you are talking about. I have a project in my daily driver, I am in the (slow) process of repainting and installing new doors and a new dually bed, along with trying to save up for a tune, but I can't stop myself from perusing Craigslist daily for that OBS Suburban I've always wanted, or the Scout I've always wanted, or the Cj I've always wanted, or the 65-66 Impala that I've always wanted. Heck, the other day I almost bought a 3/4 ton 90 Sub with a junk body except for the nose, because I have a 91 Sub parts truck in my yard with no nose on it. I just know that if I had the time, money, skill and some more tools and a lift I could swap the bodies and have a low mileage lifted Suburban 2500 that only needs paint and tires. Which would make number three, because last fall I bought another one of my dream trucks, an 82 crewcab K30 project. In a weeks time I had a new bed and four new doors on it, now it needs tires, paint and the lift installed. Mechanically it needs just a fuel line and a flexplate. But it's been sitting for months because it's too wintery to work on it outside, and nothing I own will fit in my stupid garage.
Having two gigantic trucks needing paint is daunting enough, so I'm glad I didn't buy the 3/4 Sub, although I must admit I only didn't buy it because it disappeared.

My 97 dually is getting near to needing tires, the 82 dually definitely needs 6 tires, and my wifes truck has a set of winter wheels and summer wheels, both of which need new tires, 17s and 22s. That's 20 tires by my count, and I also own two dual axle trailers, one of which needs at least two tires.
I should have married an heiress to a tire manufacturer.
Maybe next time...

:iagree: :iagree: :iagree:

Oh yeah! I know EXACTLY what yer talkin about! The dually in my avatar was sitting beside a local repair shop for over a year. I bought it and drug it to the house. I already had a DD - an 85 F250 6.9, so I didn't need another truck. The idea of a dually just seemed neat at the time. I spent almost a year working on it some evenings and most weekends. The first time I cranked it up and heard it rumble, I gotta tell ya, I danced all over the yard! Man, talk about different! ):h I understand about the simplicity of mechanical pumps, but I'm REALLY LIKING chips and turbos!!

Right now, I'm going thru withdrawal. My truck has been sitting at the high school body shop program since August. I found a super clean (almost new!) bed for it last summer. The high school guys are repainting the cab and painting the bed to match. I actually have some pics of the work in progress. Hoping to get more this week. Every so often, I go by after school when the guys are gone and see what's been done. I sit in the cab, hold the steering wheel and whimper. :sad:

Great idea leaving it there to have them make it all pretty!

 

[Dave Barbieri]

Yeah, it could be a wonderful opportunity. I've seen some of the past work that has rolled out of that program - pretty impressive. All I'm responsible for is materials. And patience. Ya just gotta remember - they work reeeeeeeeel sloooooooooww. I was kinda shooting for Valentine's Day weekend, but now I'm hoping that they'll finish it before Spring Break. We'll see....
