loads of rust (although MOST is surface rust there is plenty that goes all the way through), all lights work, radio works, heater works, tranny shifts good, (4spd w/ granny gear) engine runs (needs all new seals/gaskets) pm me if you have any questions. the truck in both my garage AND gallery are THIS truck. would like to get atleast what it cost me out of it as i haven't had it more than a few weeks and quite frankly just don't have the time (not to mention the money) to do the work needed. fix the seals on the engine and it would make one hell of a work truck. Wouldn't need to worry about lil dings after all 8P

 

Are you sure that all it needs is seals??

And it seems that you are 250 miles away from me, Im just south of martinsville va. Would the truck be drivable enough to get it home??

 

no, HOWEVER it only has its issues when the seals result in a dry engine on the inside and a messy one on the outside

 

that really depends bud, i drove it about 800 miles before the seals began spitting oil out fast enough to be a problem.

 

have you done a compression test on it??

 

not yet - and it looks like i need to replace the starter solenoid (i think) could be something else

 

If you can do a compression test on it sometime, just to make sure the head gasket and rings are ok. Also, can you pull one of the plugs to make sure there isnt any excessive oil seepage into the combustion chamber.

If this checks out, then Ill beg to grandad to let me use his trailer ti come up there. Thanks in advance.

 

i'll see if autozone can loan me the tools to do that then

 

i'll prolly be able to check that sunday or monday if they are willing to

 

plugs are fouled (atleast the one i pulled was)

 

the oil does not however seem to be leaking (much) into the chamber

 

how much would you be willing to pay if i'm not able to get the compression test done? just out of curiosity

 

you wanted $800, right?

 

yep thats correct - go ahead and give me a call if you want to talk about it - 703 349 1098

 

Lets see what the compression test shows, then if the compression shows that the rings are ok, ill call you about price. Is that ok with you?
