STOLEN MEGA TRUCK.

My buddies Chevy was stolen last week out of his shop. Anybody please keep an eye out for this truck. He just finished this and has taken it out 2 times. Its made the news down here in FL. And there is a big reward for its recovery.


1988 Chevy swb single cab, Not great condition.
5 Ton Rocks
16.9x34's With custom built rims
406 SBC, 11.1 comp, performer RPM intake, Demon 750 carb, Both are newer. Sheet metal valve covers, etc
TH 400 tranny with a JW ultra bell,
SCS tranfer case, 3-1 gears, also new and clean, new 1610 joint drive shafts, 5 tons, 14 inch BIGSHOCKS coil overs, all 4 linked etc,
The front bummper is a tank with a TRUCKS GONE WILD sticker on it.

That sucks, I hate to say it, but chances are if they stole it and knew anything about it they're probably going to rip it apart. If your lucky you'll find it tipped over in a field on it's side.

Tell your bud I said good luck.

sucks about the truck....

its funny that almost EVERY "mega truck" has my coilover mounts after i sent them to get cut (nobody on CT or the like had them before). this retard isn't even using them, he has a huge moment arm/stresses on the welds for absolutely no reason.

And that would be the Florida mud truck dispute. Kind of why I figured it's already gutted or flipped in a field.

Either:
1.) Someone took it for a joy ride.
2.) Someone parted it.

So you may see a few part's on the local craigslist, or you may find it tipped over. Either way, I hope you get lucky and find it all in tact.

It was loaded on his trailer along with a new quad. The trailer was on the side of his shop. You cannot see it from the road and is in a completely locked and fenced property.
So obviously some one knew it was there. They cut the fenced, backed up to the trailer and took off with everything. The trailer and quad were found the next day abandoned in a parking lot about 10 miles away from his shop. The quad was untouched and still tarped.
Hes got survelliance video, but its not very clear. It took them less than 10 minutes to cut the fence, load up and drive off.

We are hoping for the best, but of course expecting the worse. Alot of people are all over craigslist, but no luck yet. He has had 2 reports seeing it trailered north heading through St. Augustine, so its probably far out of state by now.



Leaving

Back when horse thieves were shot or hung on-sight, we didn't seem to have any repeat offenders........



Not saying whether it's morally right, but I have yet to to see the death penalty fail to end a criminal's career, once it has been carried out.

nice rubber strap on the limiting chains but I must admit the SCS box gave me a chub.

Sounds like an inside job to me. Maybe not an employee but almost certainly an employees friend or other customer.
