here's the story on the crew cab.
A few weeks back I had the pleasure to become the owner of an old(80 ish) hunting crew cab chevy one ton truck.
This here jewel was for the total price of $450.00...
And yes, this included all 4 flat tires, god knows what kind of poop it had in there and not to mention the bad smell. the smell was terrible. it seem like some animal was living in there and pee all over the inside.
anyways, she's mine.
..Back in November, Thanks Giving to be exact, I saw the truck on Riviera, TX. about 1.5 hrs. north of Brownsville. I saw it at a small tire place. I saw the ph# and called.
The guy that I spoke with wanted $4000.00 for the whole truck and including all 4 flat tires folks!
I had to pass on this wonderful sale!
It was way off my budget, besides my wife was there, and she just said "NO"
...coming December 30, we went to San Antonio for the holidays.
I stop at the old tire place, this time to ask for the D60 only.
again, wife was w/ me and she wasn't too happy about it.
I asked the guy in the tire place about the truck.
He told me that the truck had gone back to the original owner.
I asked him, what about that ph# right there? (pointed at the sign)
when I called that ph# and the person that I spoke with said that he was the owner.
The guy(tire place) told me "no , that's not the real owner, he never pay for the truck, so the truck went back to the original owner," which later I was able to get a hold of him.
I talked to him, gave him my best offer, "$300.00" ( I am cheap what can I say)
I wanted to throw Fernando in the offer since he was misbehaving but wife disapproved, since he speaks English now.
(see 'lil Dixon!... less then a year and he's English spoken, how about your Spanish?)
darn it let me focus here.
It's got the front dana 60 missing on my 40
... not to mention a 350 V8, turbo 350 or 400(who knows) and a mighty np205
(I already got one on the 40).
hard to believe but the engine works, we pour a few cans of carb cleaner and she started and stood on her own for a while.
..like I mentioned before, the D60 is going under my 40 but the million dollar question
do I need to reinforce the D60?
if I do which parts and brands are recommended?
is it OK to leave it stock?
I am running 37's for now, and the 14 bolt is digging like a mother f? .
I want to put some 39's or 40's later.
any help will be appreciated!
