KRB- if yours was a stick, I'd swap ya.
I've not driven it yet so I'm not sure but that may be what's happening to him.

Yea, I really like mine. I wanted a stick but the auto is what I found first and it was in good shape. The only reason I'm even considering the W350 is beacuse the only time I drive mine anymore is when I'm hauling or towing so I'm thinking a ton would make sense. If I get it I'll sell mine to my brother.

OK, finally half way figured out this picture thing. Good thing our country's economic rebound isn't dependant on my technological disabilities .

Here's the truck.




The right dually fender met a deer the other day but all the pieces are still there to reglass.

Pros:
153K
6 brand new BF Goodrich MTs
New calipers & drums
New exhaust - but factory size
No mods other than a timing bump

Cons:
ABS light on
seat bad
trailer wiring messy
headlight wiring bad
no P brake
no headliner
rusty rockers + couple of dents
It does have a little "hitch" from 4th - 3rd like he said but if you double clutch that seems to help, although there's still a "tick" as you slide it into 3rd.

Most of these are minor except for the rockers. He had his body man estimate $2K to fix the rockers, fenders and dents and a repaint.

After keeping it for almost a week I called to tell him I wanted the truck but didn't have the green but knew some folks that were interested. He called me back before I could return the truck and said I could have it for $4K

Is it worth getting a divorce over?

the trans in my new-to-me green truck sometimes has a chip into 3rd from 4th, and daniel rebuilt that one not too long ago. 2k for rust and dent repair, then a respray? does he wanna paint my truck too? thats a pretty good price.

Haven't pulled the trigger yet. He wants $4,000. About $3,995 more than I have...

If you decide against buying the truck for sure; maybe you pm me if no one else is in dire need of it. I could always use one more 1st gen.

You need to get that truck, with only 150k. You'll love that tow beast compared to your current auto truck.

any idea on gear ratio? gotta watch it may be a 4.10 truck. limited slip? 4x4 work? good things to check.

4k is a good price,

You look truck poor! I will, but you are after Freight train or coal train (I'll have to check my PMs).

DHT - 10K what kind of condition? I'd call this one "fair" according to Kelly.

Crossy - its 3:54. Not sure if its open or not. 4x4 works fine.

Rumble - I don't know the body man but judging by his address, its a 40 footer.
