Mule Lick Repo Co.
Hello everyone, I am building a 1986 Chevy C10.
I am from Iowa and all we see are rusty trucks or repaired trucks, but I got a rust free Nevada truck dropped on my doorstep pretty much  . I live along interstate 80 and the former owner over heated the engine and blew it up and offered it up for $100 and a ride across Illinois to the Indiana border. So now it will have a new life here in the land of rust. So this will be a slow build beginning this winter, and it will be a cheap build but not cheaply built labor wise. It will be built into a driver. The name "Mule Lick Repo Co" came from researching Nevada ghost towns so it will get company signs painted on it eventually. Here it is as I got it

Re: Mule Lick Repo Co.
Damn, you scrubbed so hard the bowtie fell off and letters took its place. So what do you plan for the drivetrain? A rebuild or a swap?

Re: Mule Lick Repo Co.
I swalped the grill out of my daily driver c2500 as it was perfect and didn't want to ruin it with a pheasant

Re: Mule Lick Repo Co.
My engine I am hoping to use is a mercedes OM617 5cyl turbo diesel I have access to but that might change yet. Second choice is a 1970 Caddy 472 375 hp 525 lbs torque......... like I said this build will take some different twists

Re: Mule Lick Repo Company
every repo truck needs some bumper guards in case you have to push the repo away
