This is not an add its a story

I had whole truck advertised for $500 a 93 f150 4x4 bad motor. No takers . I start selling parts and still have a rolling truck and made $500 and am selling stuff cheap. Still has good doors and axles ,drive shaft many parts . I might buy another to part and just save parts I need.

What really funny is I have been offer what I wanted when everything was there. oh well

 

But I met a lot of great guys and hope I helped them out. And told everyone of FTE.

 

that seems to be the way it always goes.
i had a 94 dodge shadow for sale for $750 for 6 months. no takers.

3 weeks ago, i got a call if i still had it, and i sold the engine for $750, then the body for $250 to the engine buyers friend.

last week i got another one for free, and just sold it for $750.
all i had to do was charge the air conditioner and replace the driver side rear brake line.
total investment?? $45

 

I've done it many times with different cars and trucks, I'll have 91 Explorer parts soon as I get a chance to pop the 4.0 out.

 

well not trying to start trouble but ive been after several people whove posted ads for trucks for sale on here and they dont seem to answer the replies to the ad or their emails so if and when they whine their truck is not selling well I have cash in hand and am actively looking but cant seem to get answers back..

 

I reply to all adds . I never had any luck posting sale Items ON FTE .I know you leave a message for them and nothing.. Just you get the guy wanting a used starter from Alaska . Heck the shipping is more than new one. I did get wants for the tailgate panel .

 

I too reply to all ads.I've had some success selling stuff on FTE.The thing I can't figure out is why someone who is say 75 miles from me won't buy a part but I'll end up selling it to someone on the west coast.I just sold a steering column to a guy in Las Vegas over at another site.The UPS charges were more than the seliing price.The buyer sent a USPS money order via express mail.

 

We are lucky I can find 12 Ftrucks from 80-97 siting with in 15 minute of my house. I looked at em all . Your basicrust buckets. But About any part can be found.

I was in down town chicargo and found a parts truck . People just don't look.
Or take trip out town. You are right about driving. I have people driving 75-100 miles for parts and the locals wont got 20 miles want shippied. Have a good one

 

Hey I need a right side rust free door can you help?

 

For which truck?

 

I think it's for the 86

 

Barry's right ,sorry its for the 86. 86-96 fit or 97 SD

 

I have one and there are several nice ones at local wreckers (they like to push the after market ones it seems. But shipping would be nuts for it. I bought my current 94 truck near there. I go to Marryland and south to get my rides .The body are nice.

 

Do you come near here when you come down and what would you want for a door.

 

I wont be down for some time . As Im back to work ,The parts thing is for extra cash . I check old red and the door on right has a dent (wasn't there when parked ) . Sorry

Did you try one of the u pull its around harrisburg PHIlly area (also a good place/area for rust free parts) . King of Prussia and shorties come to mind and are way closer to you .
