Thanks @g-man

Buster has been a blast to work on and even more fun to travel in. I hate to see him go too but life moves fast. One off to college and one getting ready to drive helps keep life in perspective.

There's still more work to do on him because all the spare parts laying around won't install themselves.
 
Speaking of spare parts! Thank you @Ian Crawford for your contribution to Buster. There will be rigorous background checks on anyone wishing to procure Buster. Namely cash and the ability to negotiate. Never did get those rims from you.
 
Not a bad price at all. A little partial to the way it looks. Good luck with the sell...someone is going to be very happy wth that truck.
 
In his element at Relic Run (Roof rack not included in sale unless you want to pay more than what I have in it). Olde North State Cruisers puts on a heck of an event. Engine rebuild sticker from California. Interior Vinyl that I like but you may want to go a different route.

Vinyl replaced the brown carpet that sun faded to green. Hunt Camp 2 1/2 hours away from home in the middle of winter.

Wheel wells all in good shape. Good angle to see the new tires and the tread.

Bump a few times before the dreaded autotrader and craigslist no show circus. Buehler.....
 
Bump. Brake lines all fixed and bled. Locked up all four wheels in front of my house on Sunday. Good times.
 
Bump. Driving every weekend. All reasonable offers politely refused.......:doh:

Avoiding listing anywhere else so I can continue driving every weekend.
 
Frame and body close ups coming soon (if I can ever get home when it's daylight)
 
Honestly, just thought about keeping it. There is a few opportunities currently if I could just get home long enough to get more pictures. We all love pictures. No rush, the right person will come along.
 
Bump for reasonable offers. Still driving it every weekend. Wife says I am not trying hard enough to sell it. :rofl:
 
Tempting but I told my wife we would not sell for a loss THIS time.
