Ummmm.....I think I will wait till I am hooked up to NG. Then I can crank the heat in the garage up so I can stay warm. The furnace is already converted to NG and I don't want to switch it back to LP just to switch it to NG again in a week. We only have 20% or less in our tank so it won't be long.

I have a BUNCHA stuff!!!!

Crane Hi-6 ignition box and coil - like new
Fidanza aluminum flywheel and RAM lightweight (aluminum plate with steel face) pressure plate - both used for one race weekend in my Factory-5 Cobra before they had to be pulled and replaced with stock to move to another class.
Tremec TR3550 with Pro Shifter - came from a Saleen with 30k on it. I would put a set of synchros in it just to make it fully fresh - it all looks really nice inside. I also have the bellhousing for it..
I might have some EFI left out there - maybe an A9L or A9P ECU or two.
Some assorted gasket sets - Intake & headers - Valve Covers..
There's a ton of stuff out there..

Whatchu lookin' for?
----
P.S. Go-Kart cost me $3500 and I will sell it to the first $500 that comes my way. I have never run it. It was supposed to be for my son, but he decided he didn't want to go fast... (Musta got that from his mother)...

Actually, my buddy is looking for some GT40 heads and a cam for his fox.

I need max motorsports suspension parts for mine.

Damn you, I am seriously considering that kart now....

I may have some Performance Friction brake pads left, but all the other suspension stuff I had was almost given away at the last swap meet at the fairgrounds in st. Paul. Coilover shocks - new $25 each, etc...

The Kart also has an electric Indy-car type starter that just needs a battery..
The only thing the Kart needs is fresh fuel lines, oil and fuel. Oh and to get the seat mounted as it is just zip-tied to the kart now... My son custom painted the front number board.

Oh and I have high capacity aluminum side-pod fuel tanks that I will throw in...

Nice looking rig, but that is a ton of miles... I'd want to get a full read on it and all the service history...

Miles don't bother me at all. I'd get history and I can look it over no problem. I work on them for a living...

That is not even close to a ton of miles! You must have all really low mileage vehicles. 300k might be a ton of miles.

It's not Troy, it would need bags, but it could do it fine. The extra power and the rest the '08+ gains would be good.

Oh yeah it would handle it fine. Sadly there are much smaller trucks than that pulling campers like yours everyday. One thing going for you is the fact you have access to a lift to pull the cab if you need to work on it.

Yeah that would help. The truck would look good with the camper, and I love that interior.

Need someone to buy my truck.

Yeah the interior is nice and would look good pulling your camper! Selling your truck may be tricky being a one of a kind and all. Sometimes that is good but sometimes can make selling it a PITA.
