I've found a truck I really like in Inland Empire, CA. I live in AL. Does anyone live in this area that would be willing to inspect the truck for me?

Great bunch of guys!

 

Send me the link or pictures or whatever you have on the truck. Ill take a look or i have a cousin up there that might be able to do it 4 ya.

 

Where exactly in the IE?

 

I can do the inspection and haul it out to ya. Might be pulling a half full 40' flatbed to Ga.

I would be willing to look it over & maybe even take pictures for you...

 

The truck is in Murrieta, is that close to any of you guys?

 

I live in Murrieta. Give me the address.
I'll walk over there & check it out. I know where most of the dentsides are in Murrieta...
(My '74 F-250 won't start)

 

76f350camprspeal, I sent you a message with the details and my contact info. Thanks!

 

Thanks to 76f350camprspeal for checking on the truck for me and sending pictures. I'm negotiaing shipping with the owner right now. Shipping from CA to AL is expensive.

 

Check with dirtydeeds, see his post above. You can probably get a better rate by putting it on an existing load going that way.

 

I'll check with him.

No, I'm not psychic...Anthony called me a few minutes ago, asked me to decode this jazz.

 

That was random NumberDummy. Unless I am blind (and sometimes I am) I didn't see a vin posted.

oops missed the last line of your post

 

The only thing I omitted was the last 6 digits of the VIN, cuz Anthony didn't give them to me...and I omitted the wheelbase cuz I forgot what Anthony told me it was.

Anthony asked specifics, I turned on the microfiche viewer, inserted the apropos slide and gave him the answers.

So, what I typed was from memory, cuz I didn't write any of this down.

I added the assembly plant Canada info, and the DSO code inre to the original dealer jazz, cuz someone might chime in asking why it was made in Canada.
