Hahaha, I think you can put that back together with the right application of JB Weld!

Kinda excited about this one, just found it on craigslist. It's been on for a few days, but I hope its still there. Betting it is. I emailed, we'll see. It's only 100 miles or so from me. If its still there, and available, I will own it this weekend. Good ol' Bill is trying to hook me up with some front dually hubs.

This won't get done this winter unless I find a basment bargain on wheels and tires. More than likely next year, just collecting parts.
That's a GOOD deal on that bed. I sold six Budd wheels and tires for $500 about 2 months ago.

There is a dually sitting in the dirt here in town. Its a 96 and I've been eyeing the fenders. Rear axle is there and front hubs.

Yeah it needs a whole new knuckle. I got one this afternoon gonna get it done in the morning. That's just how the whole week has gone. One horrible job after another. Jobs that should take 2 hrs taking 6, cause of unforeseen things. That's how it goes sometimes though. I just can't wrap my head around how people let stuff go to a point like this where the price for a simple job has quadroopled because of lack of maintenance. I could go on but I won't. Rant=over.

I know it. That's why I'm pretty excited. Not sure if it's the same color red, but would be great if it was. They weren't the chrome ones for that price were they?

Glenn, that a 2wd? I'm making a 4x4 extended cab dually. I gotta find me one of those rear axles around here yet though. Haven't looked very hard. If I get this box that will probably be all the parts gathering I do for now besides the hubs if Bill gets me hooked up. If I find a good deal on an axle I may grab one, but the tires and wheels are gonna be the expense.

The wheels I sold were just steel wheels. The tires were pretty good though. If I had known you were this serious about doing this I would have held on to them.

I got one, but nobody to help me pick it up.

Gonna have to pay the guy to bring it to me.

So, i'm at his mercy till he gets time to bring me the axle.
