I literally offered it as-is last week, not running, for around $400. Nobody took my offer, so I got it running again myself. Price went up to $1000.
Engine sounds smooth as silk for being just a hair over 200k miles, transmission good too. Needs keys.
Yeah, this is not intended as an advertisement, more like how I got a deceased person’s truck running again. I had to fix basically all the main battery wires, and break the ignition lock.
It cranks, it runs, it needs quite a bit more work, and this isn’t exactly dull is it? 🤦♂️
I do have a lot of things to think about before making any definitive decisions… I dunno yet, I’m just at the point of fixing the bare minimum to get it properly road-worthy…
Best of luck, and hope you have fun. I definitely did.
To me, repairs and occasional modifications are never the fun part, that’s the tedious part.
The fun part is when the job is said and done successfully, especially after a good soaking bath followed by a shower, and a beer of course…
