I will be posting some more pics soon..It been raining

so i used the one from the AD...

Picked this up from Kumar(Bigarmzz) Thank you Thank you .

So, I had been looking for a while, and just never really did anything though. For some reason this year i really started to focus my attention to get one . That is when i saw the ad for this one on the Forum. I talked to Kumar for about a week maybe longer and before i knew it i was flying to Pittsburg, and drove to Elkins. I met up with Kumar, and i knew i made the right decision when i picked when i saw it. He is definitely really nice and honest guy.

Made it From Elkins WV to FL with no hesitation, and would not hesitate to take it anywhere.

Truck is stock 305,700R4,AC,pw and door locks, and of course its red what i had been looking for.. Everything that Kumar said the truck had , was correct. I am very happy to have it home. And my neighbors can't believe that it is such in excellent shap for an 87..

Again i can't thank Kumar enough for the truck....I still have that Grin that i had when i left...LOL

That was a beautiful truck and he's had a bunch of winners over the years. I would have loved to park that in my driveway. CONGRATS!

jrblanke · 07-20-2012, 01:17 AM

Beautiful truck! Congrats on the purchase!

You didn't happen to keep track of the mileage on the way home did you? I am just curious what fuel economy you got.

KQQL IT · 07-20-2012, 01:21 AM

I thought about how i was going to tell my wife, but when i told her about it she said "go get it". And she did not have to tell me twice
