I agree, I would have gave $500 to $800 for that cab.

You guys rag on this guy but anytime I try to sell something for one of these trucks no one wants it. I had a mint crew cab, just the cab. Had it for sale for nearly 2 years for $500. It nearly went in the scrap pile too because no one would come get it. Finally one guy drove 2000 miles to come get it and was estatic about how nice it was.

Everyone always says don't scrap it I would buy it but when it comes time to do the buying everyone is quiet and some people don't have room to let stuff sit for 2 yrs before it sells

That's my experience anyway

I I have some 1968 Plymouth Barracuda parts that I've tried to sell many times. Same problem. nobody wants them and if they do, they won't give you any real money for them. So they sit here

I just took a complete front end from a 68 Chrysler 300....fenders, hood rad support etc...to the scrap not long ago. Been trying to sell it for a couple years. Had the price down to "take it away" pricing....no one wanted it. And I wasn't going to transport it 500 miles to sit at the new house.

I HATE scrapping stuff, but you guys are right sometimes it has to happen.
I have parts sitting in my shop that have been there for a decade.
Usually the day after I scrap something I need a bracket, clip, bushing or bolt off it for my truck...

'68 Barracuda parts?….hmmm…PM or call me about them T-man!

I had to google "ISX Cummins" to even know what that was, lmao. Had IH red paint in the shop so that's what I used.

It's the grid heater with a grid heater delete on top and then the IC intake horn turned around. Turbo is just clocked up with a 2.75" to 2.5" elbow. The pipe between is the stock turbo side IC pipe off of my 93. Didn't even have to cut it down, it just fit, lol.

Thanks, for some reason I was thinking the horn was a different shape.

You California guys make me sick !!!!


Not a damnb bit of rust on that think. That's disgusting. That's simply not right. Every truck has to get rusty at some point. Come on man, get with the program. There are washing machines out there to be made !!!!
