Well I ended up selling it yesterday. Once I got under it and really got looking it was rusted more then I thought, not in much better shape than my 04, the water pump was starting to weep, had a brake light / signal issue and some other small things. I made a few hundred on it and it's somebody else's problem. So the search continues for a non rusty truck in NNY.
Just finished a rehab on a Eff One Fiddy, cancer is in the early-mid stages but there’s a good five or more years left if you wash the fucking undercarriage more than once a decade… Now I hafta decide whether to flip now or wait until I rehab the Violent Violet Soot Belcher…as I work on arrangements to check out another truck that my “donor truck” has parts for to make a very healthy flipper if the condition and price is right. So, wanna road trip to the dirty souf and bring a few back?
I wish you luck. I'm starting to hunt for a good restomod base for a truck to replace my 2010 sierra, and it's damn near impossible to find anything worth looking at. I figure I'm going to have to look south, and fly/drive down and get one to import. I also figure I need to save more pesos lol. I have zero interest in anything new.
My "no interest" is also fueled by the fact that I have no money lol. Or put a different way. The fact that new pickups now cost north of 60k made me lose interest in them
Yeah. They come from GA, FL, AL, etc. Good luck. I quit looking for "projects" or "fun cars" where I live, because anything cheap has more Rust than an Alec Baldwin movie title.
