Sold her

The "ugly truck for sexy people" finally sold.

I bought it last October for $1400. Put in a new clutch, return kit, slave cylinder, and a bunch of other odds and ends and just sold it for $1100.

It was so beat up that most people who looked at it didn't even want to test drive it. But then a guy came who was from Wisconsin and he was so happy to find a truck that didn't have rusted out cab corners that he made a good, solid offer.

The rest of the country must really be hurting for good trucks.

In michigan just a rust free cab alone sells for 800 bucks, and that is just a shell. No interior, no glass, sometimes no doors even.

John we should go into business. I'll stockpile like 8 rust free cabs, and you can come pick them up with one of your big rigs and then sell them off in Michigan.

That there cab is a collectible, because it comes with a Michael Jackson cassette tape, and he's black on the cover.

But seriously, it's really easy to find a straight, rust free truck with a dead engine for under a grand around here.

In fact I've had a '94 F-250 4x4 rust-free supercab complete with good tires and a ZF-5 and a blown 460 listed for $600 for a week. Not one call.
