On August 8th im on a flight to England Most likely for good. So im going to put my truck out into the world to see if i can make back some of the money i have put into it. non eof it was a waste, i enjoyed almost all the tiome ive spent on my truck and i am severly unhappy that im going to part with it. i bought it 2 years ago as my first car that i bought with my own money, i bought it 3 weeks after my parents bought me the '78 LTD

If the truck will sell i am going to sell it. if not just put it in the garage and see what happens. ill just see if im coming back to america or not.

Take a look at the truck and you can see where it came from. I Know its not much but all the work ive done on it has been in the last 2 1/2 months. It started as a car with no floors bed tires brakes or pretty mych anything else. it had sat since 1990 and i got it running driving and for the most part safe. my goal for it was a rat rod of sorts and i think i basically have it. it sounds liek a mean truck, looks liek one for the most part too. just recently i took the interior apart again and i just never got around to building mounts for the seats. Also as of today the carb completly died, it will occasionally fire up and will only stay runnign if i keep it around 3000 RPM, runs just enough to move it around the yard.

anyways i just thought i'd let you knwo my situation, and thought you may liek to see what a 17 year old kid started. i never finshed the bodywork or put the new bed on liek i wanted.

Please look at my gallerys, leave comments, and maybe even have a decent thread here.

Thanks Guys

P.S. if anybody has a working Carb for a 223, may i have it or buy it off you? i need an air cleaner too.

 

I hate to see you take off, but you got to do what you got to do. I hope you enjoy it there.. watch out for those traffic cameras and Camera vans.

Unfurtunately i cant buy anything at the moment...How much you hoping to get for it?

After you go to europe, will you still be coming onto the forum?

 

I will definantly still be coming onto the forum. im just hoping to get 650$ or so for it, that about how much ive in parts ive put into it. thats not counting endless hours of striiping an rebuilding and cleaning everything. : )

 

Maybe you can take her with ya if it turns out to be a permenent move

Hey good luck with your life!

 

Now that would be awesome: P a slick in england, now with gas at $8.50 a Gallon there, the 223 would be REAL nice :P


And the Truck is for sale in cleveland Ohio for $750 or best offer, for anybody on the forum :P

And i think the carb problem is that there is water and some junk in the jets, gonna be cleaned in a bit
