Bought another truck......

Well I sealed the deal on this beauty today
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...216462510&rd=1

I think with some light rubbing compound she will be good to go...... YEAH RIGHT!! But really I did buy it. We couldn't get it started which I wasn't real crazy about but told him to take $200 now and I will come back ready to get it running then we will finish the deal. He had it running after the wreck but that was a few months ago. I am gonna part out what I don't want to keep BUT I am not taking parts orders just yet. The bed might be spoken for and the front axle will be next on the chopping block but I want to get it home and inspected closer before I start taking requests.

Rubbing compound maybe not, but a can of white Krylon from Wal-Mart and she'll look good as new.
Killer price you got it for, too bad there aren't more useable parts.

Nice! good price! lots of good parts on there what are you thinking of doing with it?just parts or fix and sell?

It's always good to have parts around that thing will pay for itself either way

Parting it out. Frame is wasted. The entire passenger rail is twisted clear back to under the bed. The cab is pretty banged up as well.

I have a set of singles already (had them for 6 months or so) but all but two (replaced already) have armature clearances out. I might have a line on a set of two's that Bean built so depending on what happens there I will be having Jim build me a set of 2's.

iasrap sorry gray interior with bench seat.
