idk guys. the tires are the big winnar for me, and they look to be ****. it's been on teh list for some time as well, which leads me to believe there must be a catch. and there is teh possibility its a balljoint axle. i might call on it later this week, but then i gotta figure a way to get a truck from wisconsin to illinois. me no have trailer or tow rig.
we gotta see. i found some gems today, like a 79 d60 w/new u-joints, brakes, extended stainless lines, and 5.13 gears for $1k, which is a big score for around here. i'm not so worried about a rear axle, they are everywhere, but if i get the 5.13 d60 i'm looking dor a 14 bolt since my sterling 4.56's would then be worthless to me since they wouldn't match and i don't have a sterling laying around. and that brings up the late model 14 bolt with disk brakes i found for $250, yep disks and cheap killer strength for $250. wish i already had the cash in hand. having the parts to work with is half the effing battle for me.

hi-steer kingpin front, no pics of tires and when i asked if it was leafs or coils up front he said it was "hot leads" whatever that means, ad isn't 100% laser specific if its leaf sprung or coils, just wanted to be sure.
it's a good deal i guess, but this guy is gonna have to get some better pics and info before i'm willing to set up a truck and trailer for me to drive 6 hours one way on a whim. need to be pretty sure i'm getting what i want, cuz i hate long drives to new places for nothing.

i used to have the same problem. working on the vehicles cut into my drinking time.
i was getting too many complaints from Lynchburg about the lack of deliveries to my area, so i decided to stop working.

i'll tell you whats wrong with brakes, they are over rated
i effed up last night and started looking for f350's and found 2 that were in pretty great stock shape with no/barely any rust and 460/5spd.s in the $3kish range and one for $2250 w/351 and a little more rust. gotta see how much moniez the wife will let me spend.
