Soon2Be Proud Owner of 1 Fine 69!
Yay! I saw an ad in a local for-sale forum about a 69 4x4 for sale for a pretty good price, and it looked pretty good in the picture. I went down with my dad last night to check it out, and I wasn't disappointed with what I saw!
![]() ![]() It is a 1969 4x4 body on an 85 frame and running gears. It has lock-out hubs and 3.73 gears. It has power steering, but manual brakes. It's on 35" tires with a rednecked body lift. And I mean rednecked... 2x2" square tubing was used to life the body off of the frame about 6". The 350 engine is from a 79 truck, which had about 79,000 miles on it when it was put in this truck about 5 years ago. He said it was overheated once a few years ago and may have a bent rod, but it didn't sound that bad when I test drove it last night. The body is pretty much dent free ![]() ![]() After I bring it home, I will need to do a few things to it. The major thing that needs to be done soon will be to put new exhaust on it. Other than that I will just clean it up, and fix/buy things that are missing. Small things like that. I probably won't remove the redneck lift until spring, but if I get sick enough of it, it may be done over the winter, we'll see. ![]() I have a football game this afternoon at 2 pm, and I'm going to call the owner this evening to make final plans. I hope to be able to drive it home tommorow afternoon! ![]()
