86 dually

Couple months ago my buddy sent me a facebook ad that was just odd not a lot of info selling a couple trucks. it was an ad that you knew you just needed to get to the point as they weren't sure what they had. With 2 pictures i asked to set a time to come see it.

The family's grandpa had passed away and they were unsure what to do with some of the stuff he had. They bought this truck new in California and moved to Washington in 2002. It was used as a farm truck for a lot of its life. The truck fired right up with a fresh battery and starting fluid, with tires low and rear brake not letting loose I had to drag it out of the barn with my truck. Then we got a friend with a trailer and a winch to bring it home.








Finally got it home and got a few pictures of the interior



Hours of beating the brake with a hammer and nothing happening i decided to break out the cutting wheel.

Re: 86 dually

That was all when i first got it a couple months ago. After i got the rear brakes fixed i forgot about it for a couple months. Finally i got around to getting all the interior out of it and such.
My son calls this my truck and is always in the way.

Fresh carpet and some clean up

Looks good man! I'd be interested in the K5 but you are a long ways away....

Good luck with all the projects.
