Re: Truck Prices are going up?

I got my truck last year off craigslist from the town next to me for 16k. The seller hardly drove her in the 5 years he had her and she was garage kept even before he got her. Externally, she looked great with a nice trim level but was very leaky and ran rough. We are all pretty sure the odometer hadn't been roll over and was sitting at ~94k when I got her. When I picked her up last week after having the drive shaft, rear end inspected and the cover seal replaced, 30k was bounced at me for a interested buyer. I didn't even think twice passing on the offer. Having way to much fun!

I have done TONS of stuff to her and except for the engine rebuild, transmission, and 134r AC convert - most of other things I have done she technically didn't need them. Then there are the odd things things that have been annoying re-dos. But for the most part, the insides are now far better than how she looks!

For the record, not long ago the $$$ I have spent reached what I paid for her. Putting in a tilt column, side mount spares with OEM locks, complete frontend (because might as well) and etc. adds up! LOL
