Looks like the truck is gone...

Got a email from a guy in town this morning, said he would trade me for his truck.

Looks like im going to be driving a 1985 RCLB 3/4TON, New Black Paint, New Engine, New trans, Winch Bumper, Winch, 2" Lift with new 35"s.

Hes also throwing in a 6" lift with 36" Super Swampers, Brand new Propane system and some other goodies.

If the truck is clean, im doing it.

But, dont worry, i got another GMT400 in the works, most likely a lifted RCSB

i am sad to see it go but glad to hear you got some good stuff coming, i expect pics asap as usual to this forum. sounds like a great deal though and glad to hear that you are looking into another GMT400 already.

Yea i found a Little 1994 RCSB 4x4 with a little lift and a 4.3L/5-speed, for $500, been in a crash, might buy it and fix it up.

I'm jealous, that is one clean truck. also i have never seen a 4x4 with a 4.3, should be a fun little truck though.i like the look of those rims, but if it not your thing then it might look like crap. got any plans for the big truck?

Talked about the '85 with my dad, hes unsure about it, but he did mention throwing rings and caps on the wheels, which i think will look good.

i think im gonna trade, it will look sweet with the 6" lift, and i will probably just sell the 36" Super Swampers.

as for the 1994, its a WorkTruck model, very bare bones, dude said it runs great but it was in a accident, im almost considering buying it and swapping in the 5-speed and clutch setup into the '85.

the 4.3 trans prolly wouldnt hold up to a 3/4 truck

Yea i will probably just keep the TH400 in it.

i will be going to look at this beast tomorrow. I forgot to mention that it has a bunch of stereo stuff init as well, and well i need a 4x4, so i think the Orangette is gone.
