Lucky #13

[camok10]

Well, I'm back in a gmt400. After about a year in a 900, and 2 mo's with a powerstroke I fell back into the 88-98 word. This is the 13th one I've had counting back.

Well here is the diamond in the rough, it's a 98, 175k on the clock now. 350 Vortec auto trans, push button 4x4, 342 gears with an open rear. Allready picked up a set of 99-02 alloys that are waiting on tires and installed a flowmaster 10 series knock off on it in place of the factory muffler.

Well here she is when I got it with spray paint animal tracks and now with out.

Nice rig aside from the rusted rockers/cab corners, what are your plans for it?

 

[camok10]

Keep it daily drive able, I was thinking along the lines of appearance. New cab corners, replace the rusted rear bumper with a roll pan, a smooth diesel front bumper. De-molded and truck bed liner along the lower portions. I can get a heck of a deal on m/t tires here in a couple weeks I have a set of atz's in 285 coming for 151 a tire. Oh and window tint because this has none!

I'm aiming for this truck again in a similar way. I wish I still had it all the time, it was the same truck as this but white with the third door and a gov bomb out back.

It's lead by animal to say animal emergency. the same reason it had those animal prints on it too when I got it. A vet previously owned it. It's residue from stickers on the hood.

wow..

 

[camok10]

wow..

?? Elaborate.......

 

[smrr1]

Just what some people will do to their vehicles. Paw tracks and stickers on the hood aren't exactly the way i would go even for my business as a vet. Not very professional imo. Maybe something a teenage girl would do.

Yes I agree completely, plus it kills the resale. I am into this cheap enough it doesn't bother me but the person felt it was worth $3500. I traded a flat bed 94.5 f450 powerstroke 2wd 5 speed I had 1200 into for it because the feller needed something to tow a skid steer with. From what I gather his mother in-law was the one who " accessorized" the truck.
