Last night I spotted a 97 4wd CC black dually on the side of the road with a For Sale sign. Of course I made the mistake of stopping. To make a long story short It is now in my driveway. It has 170K and a rebuilt tranny a year ago. Not a show truck, but not a dog either. With a bit of work it will be brought back to very good condiion. I ended up paying 7K for it. I think that was a good deal. You agree? It has all new tires. It needs the basics. New Belt, Find source of oil leak (front cover maybe) re-cover drivers seat and it needs a new tailgate. The 4wd shifter boot is missing. Need to find one of those since it creats a lot of cabin noise. I sold my 95 2wd today for $8500 so I have $1500 to spend to shape her up. Also can anyone tell me what tranny is in the truck and what I should watch out for? If there is any $$$ left over what should my first performance mod by other than gauges. Thanks

 

Ya man thats a hell of a buy! But it depends how much money you have left over for the mods, and depends what your lookin for. Guages, intake, and a straight pipe should start her off pretty good, want more power then look into injectors, fuel pumps, maybe turbos, its all up to you man.
Rock on!

 

Very nice buy.
Enjoy your Truck.

 

Sounds like a good buy to me. Good luck with the new truck!

 

Nice! There's a tailgate in the 2nd gen classifieds.

 

Sound like to done good on the truck trading. Should be able to get in fixed up and ready for many miles. Pix when you get them.
