i hope that 18k was since 77' and its the total purchase price & parts since then.
otherwise,he may have slightly over paid lmao.

dont ya hate some of them ads.i mean,there's more info in two lines below in my sig stated what my truck is,and im not even trying to sell it lol.its like people dont even try.

who's going to pay 4k for a 77' 4x4 with info:
Mechanics Special
Lots of new parts

really.
if you want to sell an old rig,for more than some much newer ones go for.why not list what those parts are right? lol.
could be a nice truck if more was known,and he should have payed for a $100 aftermarket grill if he could afford to invest 18 grand in her.

Hope that helps!

Now for my part!

HOLY FRIGGIN REDNECK SPECIAL!!! WTF is that guy thinking? If i put 18K into my truck it would be damned monster that smokes fire and brimstone out the pipes and eats strokes for snacks! LMFAO!!! What a joke! i wouldnt pay 4,000 for that unless it had a stock car engine and came with a happy ending!! hahaha

Hey now be nice lol. I have about that in my Bronco and haven't even touched the body yet. But I have put two 302's in her 4 tranny and 3 t-cases along with the 6.9 2/4 ton conversion. Good thing my baby is as understanding of my love for this truck lol. Oh ya I still want to turbo it and swap in a zf5 lol!

That looks rough to have $18k thrown at it. Maybe whoever he paid to do the work did a complete hose-job on the guy or he beat the **** out of it and went through a couple motors, trannys and axles.
