I hate to do this but life changes are forcing me to sell my cruiser. I've been working on it for almost two years and am very close to finnishing. I don't have time to invest anymore but my loss can be your gain. I can furnish right at $12,000 worth of reciepts and would like to get $6,500.00 for it.
Since buying it I have repaired the body, rebuilt the axles, added a completely rebuilt 4.3 vortec engine via an Advanced Adapters kit, went through the tranny and transfer case, bought Metal Tech fenders and have installed them, bought budbuilt quarters and installed them, added 35" BFG KM2's & Dick Cepek DC1 wheels (5), built a tire carrier, bought a new gas tank, rebuilt the drum brakes, installed a 4" hellcreek suspension, installed a saginaw conversion, bought a new Champion aluminum radiator, bought a new clutch master and slave and have 95% of the parts left to finnish it.
Things that need to be completed, run fuel line I have 5/16" Stainless along with the fuel pump from summit, finnish the electrical - Jim's performance completed the wiring harness shouldn't be hard to complete, I installed a Downey VSS for the ECM. Buy and install the front windsheild glass, finnish the roll on bedliner (Durabak), buy and install all belts and hoses, rebuild the heater and rear heater. Put the body back to gether (this can be completed on request. Complete the final body work and paint with the factory paint previously bought. I have the origional front seats and hard doors but the top will have to be purchased.
I don't have to sell it but dont have much time to work on it, I have purchaed a new home and my time is devoted to that. If your interested a link to my site is included and you can reach me at 1-336-403-5643
