The springs have all got to go and the shackle angle is horrible. The front bumper is bizarre, it looks like a nice tube bumper, but stuck below the stock bumper...very weird. Then there are sliders too, but no rear bumper. At least it looks like it might be hi-steer.

seen it before on eBay. Looks like they are having a hard time selling it. I got an idea why...$$$$$
Looks like an (almost) good trail ready rig. Just a few things & it's g2g. But that price has got to be in the real world like the rest of us.

I can see how there is probably that much $$$$ put in it, but anybody knows that an automobile is a depreciating liability, (as opposed to an appreciating asset).
I'll have close to 12k in my V-8 swapped rig by the time I'm done, but I am building it for me, not to sell. Besides, I will give it to my nephew when he turns 16 anyway.

Nice truck, but he won't get half that for it. Paint job was probably $3k or more.

And by gosh it is freaking RED!

Warn me next time so I don't hurt my eyes.

19K for that truck?? and 30K for that green one??? There is no way I would ever pay that, if I could find some customers gullible enough to pay 30 K for that truck, and 19K for that truck, I could retire....

Those trucks I doubt would see $10k in the non-wacko world. I've seen show trucks with useless but pricey crap and stuff go for under $20k on ebay.

Clearly you are good at finding the suckers in the world. Unless that ghetto green one has something magical somewhere inside it that I cannot see then I wouldn't pay more than $2k for it. Assuming the engine, frame, and body were mint of course, because I would have to redo the whole suspension and even then it is still carburated.

i've seen the resto pics of the white one, but i thought it was 12k instead of 20? personally, i'd rather have a new '82 than a new '06...

19K for the first truck...... well all I can say it'll never see a real trail, that thing would break in the first 50 feet......

As for 30k for the second truck...... I can build one 10 times better for half the price, here's one I help on last year that was given away for a $5 raffle ticket, BTW it cost under 2k......but had a total of 20k in donations, not including labor......



Go here to see exactly what was done.....
