Found an $800 Truck

A friend of mine called me yesterday and asked if I knew anyone who would like to by a !st gen dodge with a cummins. It belongs to a friend of his. I have met his friend before, but do not know him well. My friend says his friend needs money badly and that I could probably talk him down from there. All the info I have so far is that it is pre-91, 2wd, auto, runs and drives. I do not need it but thought if anyone on here was remotely interested, I would go look at it and take pics, It is located somewhere around Elgin, Oklahoma.

If it runs and drives you'd be foolish not to buy it for that price.

I found one for $600 runs great, doesn't drive.

Only because the top right A-Arm broke off the frame in the front.

Jacked up the rear and she shifts through the gears ok.

Too bad it's in Elgin, Oklahoma, because I'm sitting in Elgin, Texas right now. The motor is worth the asking price.

Update: Talked to my friend, if he makes it back from OKC before dark, we are going to look at it. He is positive it needs ball joints.

The motor alone is about $1000. Go for it.
