looking for a beater
 
I'm looking for a cheap truck to do some install and testing on.
worn out tires are fine.
street legal with a title a must.
does not have to be road worthy
rust is acceptable and expected
interior needs to have something that looks like a seat and part of a dash
mileage may be exempt.
auto or manual
if manual the tranny must function properly
if auto it may be blown to kingdom come
2wd preferred.

first or second gen dodge only

price range from a 6 pack of natty to a dirty 30.

it would also be nice if it were somewhere near central Indiana.

Got a 1996 1 ton 2wd dually, with an NV5600 6 speed, fairly clean body, beat up dually bed, decent 17 inch tires and a blown up 12 valve.
I don't do alcohol, 420, or any other mood enhancing substances.

However, I will do $2500 cash. :cool:

I would also trade for carpentry work, or such, to finish the interior of a house.

How blown up is the engine? We talking head gasket or rod through the block?

Mark Nixon 02-14-2018 08:55 AM

Partially seized, no compression.
It never threw a rod, but it's not like it didn't have a chance to. :D

turbo2387 02-14-2018 10:15 AM

Too much work. Gotta pass on that one

Mark Nixon 02-14-2018 10:34 AM

You didn't mention you wanted it perfect.
In fact, your op indicated otherwise.

Mark.

Running would be a plus or close to it.

Neighbor was talking about selling his 97 3500eclb dually. Cab is rusty, bed is clean, interior is rough, auto has been built locally, but could probably use a service. Has 19.5" tires, 320k+ miles, he's currently driving it daily, but his wife said if he sold it for $5k she'd buy him a new one. Plow included also. Mild engine, tweaked pump, think it marine injectors, 62mm turbo, new head gasket with studs few yrs ago as well.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...84202a294a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9fae0f690e.jpg

we are getting closer to finding the right jewel. I do love the see through floors and those extremely special crooked stacks

Cummins 01 dodge - cars trucks - by owner - vehicle automotive sale

im strongly considering this dime but the smoking vp as me a bit stand off ish.

surely someone has that special heap parked by the barn.

also a carton of square's is getting pretty pricy anymore. maybe a 3 pack of swisher sweets ( grape flavor ) to sweeten the deal.

This is what im hoping to test. Fitment of these race truck whirly magigs.

Mark Nixon 02-14-2018 02:07 PM

Must be hoping for that special giveaway truck.
Don't you know everyone thinks their clapped out rusty POS is worth 5k plus?

Mark.

turbo2387 02-14-2018 02:10 PM

unfortunately... yes... its awful

hell...... I will weld the rusted frame back together on the perfect test truck just to get a bargain.

Highwayman 02-14-2018 02:37 PM

Just run the race truck on the street

Man, it's not that bad, stacks are actually not crooked at all, just bullhauler style. And nothing is "see through" on the cab. And for this area, when he asked me about pricing it, I said I wouldn't be surprised to see it sell as high as $7500! Honestly don't think you're going to find what's in your mind.

Drove a 4x4 home 6 months ago for $2200. They are out there. Have no need for anything nice.
