well lets make it offical
« on: March 23, 2009, 09:44:15 pm »
hello, i have made some posts on here getting some great advice so i figure i still have not showed the truck i got, the first pic. is of my van that i use to pull my trailer to get wood for heat but was slowly destroying my van (its not designed for this kind of work) so i bought a work truck to pull my trailer, granted it aint beautiful but it will be a work truck ( keep that in mind so please dont compare it to all your awesome looking trucks)this way i can fill up the back with wood and still pull the trailer also. I also put a picture of the inside after i took out the seats and mat was expecting to find all kinds of trouble but there was little to no rust. :-) It has a 8x10 diamond plate flat bed with holes for stakes also.
not sure if i got did wrong but i paid a grand, has a 454 that pased deq without a problem and has alluminum eagle dually rims on it. it does need tires though, its a little rough but after rebuilding the carb it fires right up. did want to switch it to an auto but with this economy and job uncertinty i figure for now just put a new clutch in it, as it was starting to slip, at the same time redid the exhaust manifold gaskets and the donut gaskets on the manifolds. all in all about ready to go cutting some wood

Nothin wrong with that truck from what I can see. I think its better, especially if you dont have to use the trailer anymore. Thats cool
