Title: Does this sound like a good buy?
Post by: Hurleygurlie932 on March 25, 2013, 12:25:36 pm

Hey can you guys tell me what you think about this truck? I'm going to look at it tonight. I know it needs floor panels in rear and tailgate but sound mechanically sound... Any insight?

Check for rust in the front floor pans also and behind the front seats.  Verify receipts for the motor with a rebuilt claim along with anything else listed as new.

X2 what Capt'n said. Plus, the brush guard doesn't look straight with the hood. The front bumper looks fairly straight, I think. I would check to make sure the frames not bent or something. It just doesn't seem right.

TH 400 is not stock. did they swap in a T case with it, swap it to a NP 208 that used to live behind an SM465?
The front sahft a homde made unit, or was it built by a shaft shop?

Two hour drive and it was a sad sad truck to behold. Ran great but needs a whole cab with all interior parts. Oh well. Thanks for the advice guys!

Been there done that!
I am sure you will find a few more disapointments before finding the right one.
