This is a really good web site and they can set-up delivery too.

Now you just need to put the 20's back on it.

[funkytechmonkey]

YES! I DO!! hahaha... That thing looked so much better with the 20s on it.

Anyway here are some more pics for you guys.

Link to a website with all the pics on it. **CLICK HERE**

Very NICE! Personally, I think it looks better with the rallyes on it

[funkytechmonkey]

And here are some of the paint defect pics... Some kinda worry me that its rust making the paint bubble up... What do you guys think?























My buddy... Damian

[VA72C10]

Yeah....some of those would really concern me like the door bubble and the crack/bubble at the wheel well (bondo?)

The ad says: "frame-off restoration done a little while ago" - what's that mean? Sometimes it's what isn't said that matters.

WWotr, I hear that. I usually don't drive my wifes because its an Accord, and I have to adjust from tiny to big everytime to drive it. Plus, its too smooth, always driving to fast in it and don't know it.

[lolife99]

You still got a great deal on the truck!

[bigguy69]

[truckmanloco]

You got a smokin deal on that truck anyone who doesnt think so hasnt priced a running driving swb with decent paint lately. Hell even nice longbeds are getting hard to come by for less than 6k. Great Buy.

You think that's an aftermarket door on the PS? It looks like it's way out of alignment. And I think the cracks are definitely bondo.

Bottom line, though: Even if it needs $_K in bodywork, it's still a killer deal.

Yea but even moreso if something happened to it while I was driving it, (my Fault or not), I couldnt forgive myself.

Both doors kicks out a good bit at the bottom. I cant tell if they are after market or not. There are a few things that are not lined up well.... but I am no body man so I dont know if its just a minor adjustment or something major.

Didn't that truck belong to a member here before?

[funkytechmonkey]

That would be awesome if it did... I would love some history of the build. There is a hot rod company, out of tenn, sticker in the back window... I called them and he said he doesnt remember the truck.

[CC69Rat]

Sharp looking truck man! I think you did great. I'd pay $6k for it, no question.

[72freak]

Nice choice....Ive seen that one listed. Im glad it got a good home.

Helps explain the paint.

"As of right now we have ~8" of the fluffy stuff and probably another inch of ice."

If you can get a member in the area to check this truck out and it is what they say it is... I would pull the trigger! I like this truck a lot for $5500!

Also I would search up to $8500-$9000 advertised cost. Mine was bought for $6500 when the po advertised as $8500 in CL. I was just very nice and honest and told him I LOVED his truck but only had $6500 in the bank. Just tell them the truth that your wife gave you a budget and hope they are married and understanding, and need to get rid of it. Then be prepared to walk if they won't sell it for the budget you have.

See now I'd by this (almost) sight unseen!
Love it, but I would lower it a Tad More in the Rear and call it "Dream Cicle or Cream Cicle", just like the Orange Ice Cream Bar. See ...every vehicle I've owned has had a Name/Theme to it.
