67 in the weeds!
No title parts truck. The price was well below scrap but there was a catch.... I had to take all the rubbish in the bed with it. Thought no big deal, since I had help and now my achilles is better and I can hobble around with a walking boot ok. Well, that's where the fun began. Had a friend air up the tires as best as we could (been sitting here for 10 years or so). I then hooked the winch with block and tackle to it and it started to pull my HD and trailer and this truck didn't move an inch! Come to find out there was about 3000lbs of shingles tar paper and metal in the bed. oh, and the rear wheels had sunk in from all that weight. We unloaded 1000lbs of stuff from the bed onto the trailer, and went home without the truck. Second pic is the first load of junk after I cleaned it off the flatbed, not including 300lbs of tar paper rolls, a V8 block (chrysler i think),and a waverunner lift.
