Recently bought my third obs dually. Last two long gone. Looks like I'm gonna put some work into this one, so thought I should join this forum to gain more knowledge,
and share my experiences. I'm 47 years old, decent mechanical ability, and love working on vehicles I can actually work on. I found this truck on Chattanooga's craigslist, but it was actually in northern Georgia. 1997 chevy c3500 crew cab. 454 Vortech. 250,000 plus miles for $8500. Ehh, looks interesting but too much money. A couple weeks later, same truck pops up for $6,500. Hmm, thats not too bad maybe I should check it out. Nah, I'm too damn lazy. Soo, couple weeks later, same truck, now it's $5,500. WTF? Made the call , gotta go check it out now. What's wrong with this truck? Arrive for the test drive, truck seems to start fine, but when driving no power at all. Pop- Pop, Spit- Spit, but no knocks and tranny shifts hard and firm. Everything underneath surprisingly clean and dry. Body looks damn decent for the age. Interior 50/50. You're gonna throw in a 4" cowl hood, and a brush guard? For $5,500? Yea, SOLD!
