Scored this 93 for 1200 bucks !! Let me know what you think !! Bob

john@thepier · 04-30-2008, 04:33 AM

Looks really nice, those running boards kept it nice down low. Exactly why I'm looking for a set I like. John

C10-Driver · 04-30-2008, 06:03 AM

Great score for 1200 bucks... It looks really clean. How about a few more details - engine, mileage, etc.

Bob 68327 · 04-30-2008, 06:53 AM

252,000 miles motor and trans have been replaced unknown miles . It's a 5.7 and 4 speed auto . No leaks ,knocks and shifts smooth . Runs great it's a little rusty on the bottom but it's in good shape for an Iowa truck !! My daily driver for now but I think it's a little to high off the ground for me . So maybe a little lower in the future !! Bob

larrystone · 04-30-2008, 03:26 PM

The condition of the truck is just fantastic for a quarter million miles.

One would think those rims alone would sell for $200 no problem.

I am using my 1986 LWB as a personal vehicle right now but it is a bear to drive in tight spaces, and I want to upgrade to a 1988-1999 short wheelbase regular cab model.

**Palf70Step** · 04-30-2008, 07:36 PM

Nice ride. So does this mean the 68 goes on hold for a longer while?

Bob 68327 · 05-01-2008, 01:27 AM

Nope assembling short block for it tonight !! Look for junk yard dog updates later !!! Bob

Thats nice!!

Bob 68327 · 05-03-2008, 05:09 AM

Dropped the running boards off today !! Get some new pics as soon as it stops raining !!!!

ed2552 · 05-03-2008, 05:30 AM

It is pouring buckets here, as well as lightning, glad we got our golf meet in b4 it started raining

scotts62 · 05-05-2008, 03:28 AM

Sweet not bad at all! clean! Lucky score most would sell for 2 to 3k even with that many miles

Bob 68327 · 05-05-2008, 05:27 AM

It's got normal rocker and cab corner rust and a few bubbles above the wheel trim but for the most part pretty presentable . Bob

Pyrotechnic · 05-05-2008, 08:51 PM

You practically stole that thing for that price. I know it's got some rust but the interior looks mint and the paint looks nice too, which is about all that matters for a good daily driver. I'd throw some 15x8 rims with 275/60/15's on and call it good.

Bob 68327 · 05-06-2008, 07:04 AM

Keepin my eyes open for some old slots and maybe lower it a bit . Not to much as it is my daily driver !!

dan42 · 05-14-2008, 07:55 AM

Yup - you did good on that one. But you'll probably spend that on gas in the first 6 monthes if you do much driving!

Bob 68327 · 05-15-2008, 07:05 AM

I thought so also but I'm gettin about 20mpg . Oh happy me

trailwart · 05-15-2008, 07:29 AM

dont know what you are doing with those running boards now, but i heard they make great shelves for the wall in the garage! ill find out on mine when i take them off,,

Bob 68327 · 05-16-2008, 06:22 AM

Sold em for scrap !! Here's a night shot of it without the boards !! Enjoy !! Bob

72BlckButy · 05-16-2008, 03:11 PM

Great looking DD!

Bob 68327 · 05-19-2008, 12:00 AM

Thanks !!

jgrh64 · 06-07-2008, 09:30 AM

STOP THIEF ! I just paid that for a 89 that isn't as sweet and was happy at the price.

Just got lucky and had to drive 2 hours to get it but it was worth it so far !!

orange72c10 · 06-09-2008, 09:01 AM

I have been looking for a deal like that around my town but it seems everything of that age is rusted so bad that it isnt worth it. Good find!!
