looking for a beater

Geesh. I’ve bought 2 trucks with transmission issues in the past 3 years for under 2k here in the northwest. Almost worth the shipping for you!
 
found a driver in TN for $2500. i'm calling the guy today. no rust just a bunch of miles. the Indiana and Ohio kids have the price of these old grease smashers through the roof.
 
Look at this rusty jewel we justndrug home. $2500. Good and used.

Rusty old fleet truck. Runs like showroom. Lol thats about it. There are a few around. Talked this guy down from $3500 to $2500.
 
Here's where I'm at with mine. The bottom of the CHRA is about the even with the top of the manifold, and I'm fighting for room with the hood.

5k for a rusty beater? I can't even get anyone to come look at my rust free, beautiful truck for 8500! I don't get it.

Location, used truck prices are rediculous in Ohio. I know quite a few people who saved thousands by making a day trip to go get a truck.

Gotta have a truck priced low enough a kid can convince daddy to buy it for him. $6500 wont sell. 5000 will all day long. No sane abult pays 10k for a truck with 300k miles on it thats 20 years old.
 
I have a beater forsale for 4k - 5k lol.

but really if anyone needs a beater truck with a weird amount of supporting mods let me know. It's going on craigslist soon.
 
Sold my crusty VP truck with 250k on it for $7500. Paint was pretty where it was still there and had cool wheels. Sold it in two weeks. Had a PERFECT single cab 6 speed truck with old school wheels on it and struggled to get rid of it at $6000. If it looks cool it will sell. Put some hideous wheels on and some cheap headlights that blind the entire interstate and I promise it is worth $2-3k more.
 
Yeah no such thing as a cheap truck around us. I personally don't want to spend the extra time trying to get rusty bolts busted loose so I guess im stuck with paying the high southern prices. I can't imagine buying a 12V for $900 Mark I would be excited to find deals like that.

A '95 5-speed 2X4 with 325,000 miles on it would go for around $4,500-6000 here. needing $2,500 to make it street able at that!
 
1997 3500 SRW, pretty rusty, RedLine built 47re (pretty much everything short of a larger output shaft, so stock sized billet there), on 37's (two could stand to be replaced). I'd let it go for $6500 pretty firm.

Very reliable. I'd probably replace the two tires before taking it on a major trek, but she's pretty stout otherwise!
 
Here it is with a new dog house and drivable. Have just over 3k in it. Triples to come soon after i fix a few leaks.
