Just picked this truck up from a guy in a pinch. I was watching it on the local facebook swap-n-shop for $3,000. Saw it listed on craigslist with the title of "MUST SELL TODAY OR TRADING IN!". Called and asked the guy what the dealer was offering, he said $1200. I told him if he dropped it off at work to me Yesterday at 5. I'd give him $1300 for it.
I didn't even test drive it, just gave him the cash and parked it by my other car so I could pick my wife up. Got back to work and drove it home at 75 for an hour on the way home from work. Did well, drove fine. I think the transmission has a shift kit in it, the 350 runs well. Only problem i've found is the oil sending unit is leaking very bad and will shoot out a quart or two on the 70ish mile drive home.
The truck is pretty much rust free, with the exception of the drivers cab corner. I also need to rip off the billion stickers from the truck and the mossy oak wrap on the cowl hood.
It has some UGLY wide aluminum directional wheels and 33-12.5-15's on it now.
Went out lastnight in the 90 SWB and picked up some brand new 315/75/16's and some NEW TAKE OFF 96 16x7 rally wheels from an old man who took them off of his truck new the next day after he bought it. Snatched them up for $100!
Ran out this morning for some christmas shopping with the wife and dropped them off to get mounted.
So far, I've ordered about $350 in fix-it parts for the truck from rock auto, picked up another $75 worth of parts from LMC truck lastnight.
Ordered a 3" body lift from summit lastnight, which should be in by mid week.
Should I wait for the body lift or throw the 315's on now? It looks like the truck has already been clearanced for larger tires.
