Last month of official summer. Enjoy it if you're not baking, boiling or par broiling where ever you are.
Terri & I are hoping for a couple miracles to occur so that we might actually have a vacation first of September.
I'm trying to resuscitate a 94 short-bed so that the city doesn't give me grief over parking an abandoned vehicle in my drive in the mean time.
It's not often I get things for free but this guy just picks these things up for scrap and told me I could help myself, when I seen it was a 5.8 I just hated seeing it going for scrap. No key in the ignition so can't see what the mileage is on it..I picked up another set of stock height Chevy one ton steering knuckle there too like what's on that front suspension..plus the rotors were new but will have to clean them up in the sandblast cabinet and keep them for spares..
Truck looks like it's in really good shape. I had to park my old Chevy beater and without a daily now except for the car. Frame is rotted too bad so I pulled the plates, trying to find a replacement that doesn't cost an arm and a leg is hard these days..
Finding a rust free truck around here is damn near impossible unless it's less than 5-6 years old or someones babied it and kept it off the roads in winter..
It seems the newer vehicles are worse than the older stuff, new stuff looks not bad on top but the under carriage is rotted to no return. Sister in law just finished paying off a 2014 they bought used and it's been written off because the frame is rotted away. They are pretty poor with only a small government pension..I'll help them out as much as I can but I'll be in need of another one myself soon too..
I like free and don't mind a $ 200- $300 considering what the mechanical could cost. I'm sure there is deals around here but finding them is the problem...lol
