Haven't looked at it in the daylight yet. Eating conecuh sausage.....
But he said the 4wd doesn't work, and it drives with the CDL engaged. Knowing these junks like the back of a spicy tuna roll, that tells me that one of the front axle shaft splines is worn down so bad that it spins. That is starting to become common on the 80's.... ALL 80's in the 200k mile range that are running the original axle shafts and birfs. I said before I went down there that this is a 90% chance of that. I got spare shafts. Radiator is easy to replace.
So, I asked if I could disengage the CDL and he said yes..... It was a loud BUT light grrrr and seemed to be coming from front hub. I didn't divulge my theory though.... Left it at it being the transfer case to keep the price low.... We'll see. I prolly can't even start in on this junk until next week.
Its beat. AC is shot, quarter panel dent. Power steering pump needs rebuild. Needs belts, they are almost gone. Interior needs a DEEP clean.
It's gonna immediately get my 17 inch fjcruiser steel rollers on 33's. And the broken lights will be robbed from Lorena's scraps.... timing advance, desmog, AFM adjustment, kick down cable adjusted... This thing gonna HOWL!
I'm gonna just keep fixing things until it sales and I honestly don't wanna sell it. I been wanting a daily 80.... And I loves me a two-toned 3FE.

Call Cdan. He will know what it os immediately.
I don't think it's shown in that view. It should be right above#21 in that pic where the two small bolt holes for the attachment to the hanger are. Let me look tonight. If I have a second one I'll send it to you.
It's not in that view just call cdan. He knew what I was talkin about before I completed my sentence.

Has anyone called about this one? I just wanna make sure before i do... If the price is right... I may have alot of drivetrain parts for sale...
Speak up quick.... lemme know on here... sext me or PM me, whatever.
i may be driving my happy butt right back to Mobile to a parts rig... and this one's closer so saving on gas would be cool...
Chris Beggerly got it.
He was looking at one local that was the same color but was not nearly as well equipped and was $2500 more. I sent him to this one and like a smart man, bought it.
That is a NICE truck.
Awesome...this is a sweet truck and has been taken care of...
