Incredible deal......

 

[PabloCruise]

Wow, you sure couldn't build her for that...

Sad day for real, but for someone looking for a turn key wagon, this is their lucky day. Good luck with the sale, but you won't be needing any.

 

[Devils Paw 80]

I want it. Good thing it's so far away...

 

[Sea Knight]

Tucker, will you let her go for $20K?

 

[DPV7070]

Dang man, want a diesel 40? Family is growing over here...

What H55 input shaft and BH?

What H55 input shaft and BH?

It's the gasser H55 input, Luke's adapter and 2F bellhousing with the mount tabs removed and early 60 crossmember.

I bought my 80 from Tucker and he does things right. Extremely attentive to details and no corners cut. Bump for a solid rig and all around good dude.

Really wanted this to go to another Cruiserhead, I'm negotiable on the price but not interested in trades. Will be going on eBay soon

Tucker

 

[Devils Paw 80]

That would be a shame. Gotta sell it that soon? I should let my 62 go for a shot at this one.

 

[shellb]

I'd agree with that!

Truly a lust worth rig. Someone will buy it with a bit time.
