Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!

Even 4500 depends on how much of the truck he actually has.

To me the Jag front end if it is XJ is a far better way to go than a Camaro stub No sheetmetal hacking to get it to fit and you barely know that It is there visually when you look in the engine compartment.

If I had the cash I'd buy it LS3 Subframe and all, Clean up the subframe and sell it to a Camaro freak, put the Truck together so that it looked like something and put it up for sale and put the LS3 and trans in my ot car that I want to do an LS swap on.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.

I would love to build a Taskforce truck for my wife but the reality is I can't afford it. I'll be lucky if I can finish the 64 Suburban that's been my project off and on for the last 10 years.

Affording it is much easier than having time for it, I've found. One member here bought a whole yard of Task Force parts at an estate sale, enough to get all of his money back AND a free truck to start on...It definitely can be done!

Just like this ad...as was already mentioned, you could just buy this, assemble it, and then sell it for a profit. Then take that profit and do that again a couple times. It all just takes time. If you have the time, you can get your Task Force for free.

I've towed home a few projects that needed some TLC to get running, get functional, etc, and then sold them to an excited new owner so they can take it from there. It was fun, I rescued a truck from some nowhere town, and I made enough to buy more parts for my project. Probably minimum wage, but heck, I liked it!
