I didnt think of that.... but its an 8.25. Now that ive stared at every detail so i can verify the difference between d35 and 8.25.. i was sure when i saw it.

Its under an earlier chero, that has been modded. Has a lift etc etc.

 

Shelby.... i offered my shell to the other guy, but he hasnt responded. So..... i can send you pics if youd like? (youd be next in line) I'm leaning toward getting this one and selling mine.

We shall see as i get payed bigtime this friday, then i can go do a thrashfest and bring home the good stuff. :)

 

Nobody is even looking at this truck. Its great.

I have the exact same shell but mine is cracked right above the rear window. I don't have the time to mess with it. Is yours a cab high shell or does it step up in the center? I'm not a big fan of those ones.

 

Could you please grab the rear flares for me? I really need a set!

Actually, I would really like it if you could get the passenger side cab corner. I need it, and the rest of the trucks around here are hopelessly rusted.

 

Would be willing to paypal ahead so you'd have the cash. PM me if you would consider it!

 

Thanks!

Well shelby, the right rear flare is busted in half. So just the left rear is in one piece and it has some gouges in it youd have to see.

Shelby, my shell is the kind that slowly ramps up in the rear. So you can haul taller stuff at the very back. Kinda cool lookin but ive always wanted a cab height one.

 

miser, if you really want that bed... gonna have to do some footwork. Call R&L carriers and ask how much to ship a pickup bed. They will give you a quote. Then youd have to pay them to meet me at that junk yard, and we will have to get like 4 or 5 guys to carry it from the back of the yard, out to the road so R&L can put it in their freighter.

Its gonna be a bit to get that deal done. The bed has a bit of denting on the rocker right in front of the right rear wheel but overall its very solid and nice.

 

As it stands, I'm trying to even work logistics to get the bed topper OUT to the parking lot and on my truck. That alone is gonna be a miracle to get worked out.

 

Ill keep you all posted on what i get from the truck. Since i now have a list of the stuff that everyone is after.

Akula, i need to look into a battery powered cutter to do such a thing. Maybe someone local and on this forum has one and can go with and help. I don't have any way of getting that at this point. Depending on what its worth to you, i could always rent a cutter as long as your willing to cover all that. Part/rental/shipping.

Let me know your thoughts. And we will see if any other vegas folks chime in. I know harley is out of town. I have to PM him back now. :)

If I'm the "other guy", sorry I didn't respond. I have my time and money tied up right now so whoever can snag your shell has my blessing. I appreciate your willingness to pick this truck for others and it is a real shame to see such a vehicle at a junkyard. But you might as well pick it clean if you are able.

And i may still sell both shells. I just chill day by day and don't worry about anything, so if i decide to sell em or someone beats me down there and gets this one, then so be it.

Id gladly drop mine off in LA when i come down to go camping at palomar mountain in a few weeks.

Or i may even bring this one down there. Never know.

I know they don't make em anymore and they arent easy to find, so I'm sure people wouldnt mind doubling my 55 dollars spent if i drove it to their house.

cause I'm gonna have to pay some "helpers" to come haul it out anyways. fiberglass shell is not only awkward, but not nearly as light as it seems it would be.

I know mine is twice as heavy as anyone who has moved it, has thought it would be.

 

Same sentiment every time. "bahhh its just a camper shell... lets do this" They pick it up and go.. WTF DUDE this is insane. hahahah.

 

Thanks for the blessing remi, and i will do my best. i don't want to see any MJ parts get crushed. Id really like the trans and Tcase extra chillin at my house.

We shall see how things go over the time period that this truck sits there.

mountainman-

 

Maybe I missed it, but did you get a price on the taillights? I could use a spare pair. I had a spare pair but the originals both broke while stripping the truck for paint.

 

 

I didnt price em yet, looks like a local guy needs them as he and i PM'd about a trip back out there.
