Looks like a fairly rare truck that should be saved.

If you can buy it right, I'd definitely grab it. Then, I would look for a "donor" truck with good sheet metal & maybe some of the other small parts that are missing (a blown motor or no motor would be perfect). I've found the best & cheapest way to build a truck is with a donor. If a part is bad on one truck the other truck usually has a good one (or a better one). Just my opinion.

See I just don't have the patience to do that. I suck at saving money, do I like to do it one piece at a time. :P works better for me.

hey its me again, had to create a new account. >.< well i never got around to workin on it, and my DD croaked, so i have to sell it. Also figured out that everythings there, (even some extra parts like a manifold and a door with some good metal still on it) it just needs to be put together and touched up. If anybodys interested, im tryna get 2500 OBO, or im open to trade for something thatll run and drive, preferably a 4x4, or something like a camaro. puttin it on craigslist too! just figured id give the fanatics a chance at it! ;P just send me a message on here, or shoot me an email at bbcjake95@gmail.com. Thanks and good luck to the future owner!
