89 MJ Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I got it! Sadly, it’s likely just going to be a parts truck. I got a bunch of parts too. I did pay more than I planned too though. I actually paid higher than the asking price, but I’ll show you why when I get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watchamakalit Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Interested in some rockers and cab corners if they are decent and your parting it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzimm Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Looks like a good clean truck to start a build with. Is there a title issue or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't look nearly bad enough to part out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse J Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think it will just take to much money or time to build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I can. I will at least try to make plans for the main hoop. Not sure how yet. I’ll probably need to start be tracing it and going from there.

Still not really sure what the plan is. It needs pretty much everything. The fenders are damaged, the doors are both damaged, it needs a clutch the PO said, it doesn’t have a tailgate, it needs floors, the odometer says it has nearly 320k on it, but it looks like a fixable truck, I don’t really know yet. I might fix the floors, make it driveable and sell it too, which I would feel a bit better about, but I need to look at it more before I make any big decisions.

Pete M Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I thought you wanted a winter driver? now you're complaining about fender damage? I'm so confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Just now, Pete M said: I thought you wanted a winter driver? now you're complaining about fender damage? I'm so confused... The fenders are punished in from an accident and the door got hit, so the door doesn’t seal right anymore. If I fix the doors, I’m going to put nicer fenders on it (which I have), then I would have a hard time stopping, but it’s also a GA truck and is really nice, aside from the floors. I’d have a difficult time driving it in the snow. Still not sure what I’m going to do with it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 so the choice is drive a semi-nice truck in the wintertime or part it out and send it to scrap? I'm still confused... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 i'd just drive the thing, its a winter beater for you, let it get the leftovers from the blue truck, but don't make it into another one if you want it as a winter beater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would highly recommend fixing it up and having a beater/run-around truck you can have fun with. As you probably feel about your blue truck, as do I my trucks, you don't want to drive them all that much because of all the time and money you put into it. Build this truck into something you can have fun with and not care if it gets scratched or dinged up. I would really caution about parting a truck that has a usable title and little rust. It won't take much to get it running, especially with a cab full of parts and leftovers from your other truck. Just keep it in your head that it's a beater so you don't go making it all super nice.

You do make a good point. The plan is see if we can make it run and drive. If I can get it driveable, I will either drive or or maybe sell it, as it is a good truck I’d feel bad about parting out.

Sounds good. I will see what I can do! It won’t be until after I get the blue truck running though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I am going to try to avoid parting this truck out. It really has too much potential to cut up. The first step is going to be to make it run and drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
