It's feeling like spring time outside, almost open water fishing season again!

I was hoping to get mine painted this summer but I don't see that happening. Oh well I don't have a Bird bath hood yet.

mknittle

That truck is soooo nice looking!

ARCHIVE

A decent bird bath hood popped up on CL 1 mile from my house for $60, so I snapped it up. Thought I'd have to buy one from the mid west, I couldn't believe it.

That is excellent luck for your part of the world.

Threw some water and a rag on the D250 i just started working on. Can't believe how well it cleaned up. Can't wait to get it on the road and see what a good car was will do for it.

The paint is better than most original paint jobs.

Vader93

Hell i thought it was original paint

mknittle

It looks like it is. I just didn't have my coffee before I posted this morning.
What I meant to say is the paint is in good shape for original.

Hey, Vader, Mknittle, I may....say may cause I'm not the type of person to have luck fall onto my lap often, be getting another Gen1 locally, like 500 yards away locally. Truck runs, but dash lights don't work and headliner is falling down and crumbling. That's what the guy tells me. the bottom color of your D250, Vader, is the color of the truck. Single cab 4x4. Not sure if auto or stick. Very clean on the body as far as dents go. I believe I'm going to beat the deal you got for that truck of yours, Vader. Crossing my fingers on this one. Will know by this weekend.
My goal is to pull out all parts that are superior than the ones on mine such as front grill, etc. , get that thing fixed up, then sell it for the going rate.
Either that, or fix it up really well, then offer it to my boy as a hunting rig. Right now he's driving a Subaru Impreza, but as he gets older he'll realize the value of a cummins like his dad toted him around in, all the while smoking out tailgating folks!

Luck be with you my friend

Vader93

Very nice Augie. Great luck. That one i just for has to be original paint. I'm the 2nd owner of the truck. And I've known the previous owner for a decade. He is to tight to have had it repainted lol

mknittle

I think with paint that good I may have spent a lot of time parked inside or under a carport.

Garage kept most of its life. It was used to haul campers for a company then tossed aside for newer dodge. Then some guy bought the motor out of it then i scavenged the rest lol.
