Thought I posted this already, but guess not...

If I have and forgot Im sorry for wasting your time. Ive been so busy I cant keep up with **** lol. 9 1/2 hours a day and working saturdays suck...except the pay check. Anyways.....I bought this about 2 weeks ago.

Was making my truck payment that saturday like always on the F@(d, and the guy that runs the lot told me he was bringing in a "fixer-uper" and said me or my grandpa should come check it out. (We buy alot from him...good guy) I kept an eye out and saw it one day, he had it on his dad's lot instead of his. Went to check it out, had no price on the windsheild....however it did have "does not run" wrote on it and the auction number and that it was from the salvation army. The body was shot, the bed was a single tank bed that somebody cut a hole in for the extra tank. All good glass though, truck was all there.

Talk to the guy the next day and he said he wanted $500 for it.....even tho the body was gone and didnt know if it would run I couldnt pass it up for $500. I figured a SWB 4x4 frame with the 4 speed, T-case and axles would be worth that (around here anyway). Got it home, put a starter on it...dropped in a battery and grabbed some starting fluid. Turned it over a few times and it fired up. I sat patting the gas for about 45 seconds till it would idle....put it in gear and took off. All the gears work...and ive gotten the 4wd to work. All the wiring works except signal lights. It has a 350 in it....and has a good set of 33 x 12.50 x 15 tires. (front tires are different than the back tho). I believe I got a steal on this truck...for once I got lucky.

BTW: It had a set of Nevada plates in the back. Anybody on here used to own this truck? Just wondering lol.
