Says parts only, but looks like a pretty good parts truck.

greywuuf · 10-28-2015, 03:57 AM

parts only probably means it does not run or does not have a clear title, it would for sure put mine back on the road though.... wish it was closer

**jdl71** · 11-05-2015, 10:06 PM

It's sure cheap enough regardless of status.

mrolds88 · 11-06-2015, 03:52 PM

Im with ya there GW. Rusty would sure be happy with all that sheetmetal!!

greywuuf · 11-06-2015, 07:08 PM

Mr.Old's......wanna split it? I need some transmission parts and the tach dash out of it. You can have all the sheet metal.

mrolds88 · 11-09-2015, 02:09 AM

That would be awesome. But alas, my project outlook is heading in a different direction and Rusty and my crewcab are in the process of finding a new home.

**Swiftshifter68** · 11-10-2015, 12:20 PM

No cab corner/rocker/fender curve rot, from the looks of it. Then again, I just noticed its location!

Sometimes I'm rather thankful that some of these great deals are too far away for me to get. I would run out of room and would have to live in one of my "trophies" because the wife would change the locks.

Yes, but wouldn't it be nice if just one or two would be close? I'd at least like to get the chance to see in person what I'm missing out on.

It would only depress us. Go look at something we could really use and then have to walk away.

greywuuf · 11-11-2015, 06:12 PM

you said that right Mrolds88... I missed this one for $100 bucks this spring because I had no way to move it and no where to keep it!

Motorfist · 11-13-2015, 02:15 AM

What do you suppose the wheelbase is on one these mobile home haulers?

greywuuf · 11-13-2015, 03:53 AM

This one is 137" ....looks about the same......maybe a few more inches between the tank and the rear tires....but about the same as a normal longbed pickup truck

I've got a spare longhorn bed that would just about fit. Now I just need to find one somewhat near me.
I missed out on an auction for a gmc truck with a scissor lift and platform on it last month. It had 16,000 miles on it. Myself and one other individual were the only ones bidding on it. I stopped at $4000. I think it was absolutely worth it, but that was my max budget.

If thst one was that close to me, it would have made it home.......I got a buddy that has a towing business

C10 - C90 Bill · 11-14-2015, 09:53 AM

Although a little nicer, we had a truck very much like it listed on a Government online auction here in SW Virginia last fall. I was going to bring it home if it went for $1900 or less. After the Fees and all, it finished off at almost $9000. Some will remember some pictures and a short video of it that we posted here in the forums.

I would had also brought home the above truck in a heartbeat.
