« on: September 06, 2011, 10:26:47 pm »
Been meaning to take pics of this for you guys to see for a the last two years. Inspected this truck today. The guy that owns it is an old buck, babbies it. Uses it to haul a little blue stone, bark mulch etc, and his Kabota tractor. Has 21,973 miles on it. he bought it in 92 with about 14,000 on it. Never seen salt, he had it painted in 2001 because it was fadded. Also installed a brand new dump body with an electric tarp at the same time. Had a mounted rack body before.
350, SM465.

Set the timming for him as his son thinks he is a mechanic, and he had it way advanced. I went for a ride with him after to make sure it was good. It was like a trip back in time!  8)

     Sounds like someone wanted a personal toy with the way you described him, good to see he takes great care of the truck.

Very nice, reminds me of a local truck for sale a while back.  The guy bought a fully loaded Silverado cab and chassis C30 brand new and put it away without even titling it.  It had less than 50 miles on it.

His 02 Chevy 4x4 1500 is the same way, had about 9,000 miles on it, The Kabota, and the Hudson trailer he uses to move it with are cherry too. His wifes car is a 84 Crown Vic, looks the same as well.
