Dirteatr717 Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I was looking through Craigslist 2 days ago and saw the tan chief in toms river NJ, told my friend and he wanted it as a new daily driver. It's an 88 6cyl auto 4x4 swb with around 180k on it.. So yesterday we set off to go get it around 230... Sat in traffic forever going around nyc, got to the guys house after 7 and its a little rougher than the pics showed. We passed on it as he wouldn't come down on price and it needed a decent amount of work to get it road worthy. Got a few pics for you guys since its a tan chief and I've never seen one :) sitting in traffic for 3 hours was fun The frame was starting to rot and the previous owner used it as a plow truck in PA so the frame rails in front of the coils was less than stellar as well but it had a 3rd brake light and the tailgate was mint oh well, well get another one soon :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted June 15, 2013 Author Share Posted June 15, 2013 He was asking 850 and wouldn't budge much, needs a fuel pump, floors, brake lines and shocks and most of the front suspension stuff was rusty too and the rear bumper will make you wanna get a tetanus shot before you go near the truck hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMCJeepMJ Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 $125 in scrap. Should have offered $20 for the tail lights and see if he'd have taken it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Looks cleaner than most around here. That's at least worth what he's asking since it doesn't have fist sized rot holes and more rust than body color. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
