airspeed Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 The Comanche looks pretty rough, the motor is probably just as bad... http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/5829348745.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shelbyluvv Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Wasn't that Pat's truck at one time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnj92131 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Pat's dads truck. Pat said the frame was rusted very badly among other issues. Forget what they sold the truck for. Now where close to this asking price - I know that. Anyone looking for a Diesel MJ should be looking in Canada for one. I picked up my Diesel MJ for $350 Canadian. That was under $300 U.S. dollars this summer. And it is in much better condition than this rust bucket. Once we get the VW TDI engine in it, it will run for another 300,000 miles.

HOrnbrod Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Pat's dads truck. Yes, Opsled's truck. But Pat thought it was his. :yes: It was an 86 as I recall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coathanger37 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Wow, that truck looks dangerous. No way I would consider driving that thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I've seen this thing in person when Pat's dad owned it. The underside/framerails are surprisingly clean for how the outside looks. I would have thought the thing would be ready to taco, but I've seen much cleaner rigs with worse frames. As for the running part, even though it has 250ish thousand miles, it runs better than my 150K truck. Pat's dad worked at a truck shop for years and took good care of it. (Mechanically) When they picked it up it needed the rockers replaced because of a blown timing belt, and since then he had really made himself familiar with it. He used it to go back an fourth to work and as a utility vehicle. Last time I saw it running he was using it as a garbage hauler to bring the cans to the road and run back and fourth between the barn and house. The precombustion chamber had a crack in it, so if you really beat it, it would force some air into the coolant. Still... If someone wanted to pick it up, I think there is enough meat there to make something out of it. I would think it is worth about $1,500 to $2,000 if it still runs as good as it did when I last saw it. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Wow I didn't realize any CC members would have seen this in person. I live close to this truck and have considered going to look at it but the price is high and it hasn't changed in a long time leading me to believe it's a stubborn old guy who owns it. I'm guessing it will rot away where it sits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

man-coche Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Found a diesel engine and transmission o CL in St Louis. The ad says Isuzu but the NPR trucks out of central and south America only used Mitsubishi motors. Light powerful motors used in ton and quater to 3ton trucks. http://stlouis.craigslist.org/pts/5871769458.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
