Ok, here is the story:
My buddy bought this truck from GL about a year back. It has new trans, new engine, he said it was a cess truck, or a Cep or something like that.
Said that it was completely gone though.
well about 6-9 months ago a tree limb fell on it, the insurance company paid him and then he bought the truck back. He bought a new one, in like new condition that he is keeping, and was going to keep this one for parts but has no room. Told me I could have it for 2200,,,,,I think I will take 2000 and a mossburg 500 I have.
The problems,,,
the windoes and the cab upper frame is busted up all to heck!
the aluminum housing for the intercoller (I think that is what it is called) (see pic)
The tires have a bit of dryrot (dont know if that is alot for these kind of tires or not) (see pic)
the frames is moist for something leaking, (see pic)
the hood is damaged up a bit
Keep in mind I grew up in a fab shop and my dad has a complete shop (he builds street rods / drag cars from the ground up, full frame off resorations,). You get the picture on the tools ank skills I have at my disposal.
So some of these things that may cost you money I can fix at no cost, so, can you give me your opinion on ME buying the truck,,,not as if YOU were buying the truck.
My buddy said the truck still starts right up and drives, but runs rough because of the intercooler problem.
I know I will need to fix a pinhole in the radiator that happend from the treebranch (I can do), fix the hood (I can do), straighten grill area (I can do), straighten up the cab frame (I can do that)
I KNOW i will have to buy a new intercooler, glass (and any other stuff you may see that I do not know of)
