I don’t know how deep the truck went. I’ve been told that the last guy changed the fluids and tried to get it running, that it would turn over but wouldn’t fire. That’s about the best I can give ya because that’s all I know. I do wish the guy hadn’t smacked the front with a tractor, but what can ya do. My plans for it would be get it running, replace the hood, grill and drivers door, and use it for hauling trash and homeowner stuff. I’m wanting to sell my Nissan titan and get back into a Chevy, preferably a cheap one I can pay cash for.
The drivers floor is solid, I could see it because the rubber mat is worn out. Rocker panels and cab corners are solid too. That’s the kicker, it’s rough but it’s not rusty. I’m still on the fence, but I love me a shortbed single cab 4x4.
Step one is to get it under a shed so the rain doesn’t get in the window. Then I’ll pull spark plugs and make sure all water is out of the cylinders and that it turns over. Then I’ll move onto ignition and see if we have fire. Supposedly the last guy is notoriously cheap and just didn’t want to spend anything to get it running again. I also don’t know how mechanically inclined he is, so he may have missed something small that’s important.
I’m not obligated to buy it, just something I’m curious about. Wanted to get some input from some 400 guys too.
