Got several nice ones. Think the distance is a deal killer tho. Just mentioning it in case you were looking for an excuse to take a trip.

HEY< HEY Just got a email from the guy 10 minutes ago saying he sold the truck. Wonder who else he sent one to. :dunno:

The list of 'old timers' just keeps getting shorter and shorter.

No. I asked him for it but he never sent it. One of the red flags I referred to.

Finally talked to the guy on the phone. Interesting conversation. I just told him I pass on it. To many red flags. Perhaps if it were closer

I made him a cash offer on it and he accepted. If it's as bad as yellaheap says. I just may pass after seeing it. We'll see. Plane hasn't been out of the hanger for a couple months. Good excuse to go flying.

Trying to get ahold of the guy. Seems to be unavailable.

swap you straight across. You pay shipping both ways. Or $25 plus shipping.

Sounds like my uncle Duke waking up next morning with a hangover.

I thought there was something wrong with that date. Just couldn't remember what it was. I was in Spain in 1960 and I remember the Spanish making such a big deal over a Catholic being elected. Now if I could just remember what's the first thing to go. :dunno:

What year is the truck? Is the harness under the hood? The dash? or looks like in the pic, behind the seat? Just off hand I would take a wild guess and say it's a speaker lead.

QWWW, My back. Somebody help me down?

The price we pay for having a free society where ANY body can vote, whether they understand the system or not. In 1962 I was standing in line at the PX and there were two officers wives behind me. One said to the other that she was going to vote for Kennedy because she thought he was cute. My GOD! Here is a man that can send her husband off to war to be killed and she's going to vote for him because he's cute. Getting off the soap box.

DOM U It's free. Pay the freight on it it's yours.

"i got one 45 shipped....just shipped one the other day to texas it costs about 30 bucks let me know i take paypal and ship same day" NC!

From the Dakota for an MJ? Yep. Anyway went over and looked at it. It is a 3.7. The truck is solid, very nice condition. He just hasn't taken care of it and I think the engine just needs a good flushing and oil change. Offered him $400. We'll see.

Got a couple.$5,000 each if yer really desperate. $20 each otherwise.

That is where the shock mounts.

A fleeing Taliban terrorist, desperate for water, was plodding through the Afghan desert when he saw something far off in the distance. Hoping to find water, he hurried toward the mirage, only to find a very frail little old Jewish man standing at a small makeshift display rack - selling ties. The Taliban terrorist asked, "Do you have water?" The Jewish man replied, "I have no water. Would you like to buy a tie? They are only $50." The Taliban shouted hysterically, "Idiot Infidel! I do not need such an over-priced western adornment. I spit on your ties. I need water! "Sorry, I have none, just ties - pure silk, and only $50 "Pahh! A curse on your ties! I should wrap one around your scrawny little neck and choke the life out of you but I must conserve my energy and find water!" "Okay," said the little old Jewish man. It does not matter that you do not want to buy a tie from me, or that you hate me, threaten my life, and call me infidel. I will show you that I am bigger than any of that. If you continue over that hill to the east for about two miles, you will find a restaurant. It has the finest food and all the ice-cold water you need. Go In Peace." Cursing him again, the desperate Taliban staggered away, over the hill. Several hours later, he crawled back, almost dead, and gasped, "They won't let me in without a tie!"

Got enough trucks already. My plan was fixing it up and flipping it, or, pull the parts neccesary for a MJ 2 to 4WD conversion.

Question 2, Yes. In no or low stress areas. I have fixed several cracks. In some cases I have applied heat to the cracked area. The JB liquifies and flows down into the crack. In some cases similiar to what you describe I have taken welding rod and built up the area, then rethreaded the hole.

Neighbor got a 2004 Dakota he's trying to pawn off on me. 3.1, auto 4WD.I see him driving it every so often so it does run.He started out at $600 and so far I've got him down to $400. I've heard stories that some of those engines aren't to reliable but I don't remember which ones. Anybody got any opinions, comments on that particular engine? :dunno:

I have a complete chassis from a '65 J10. The brake system is still intact. If you're interested, let me know.

What's the story on the grill? Front panel? Definately not '81.
