As all the classified ads begin, yes, it makes me sad but its time to sell…
I have no idea how to price my beloved project but I’ll start here and hope the help I’ve found along the way through this forum will only continue?
I know I need more/better photos, I’m working on that! Will get them up in the next few days.
I purchased this off CL in Brooklyn back in 2017…. I have done a lot of work to make it a safe and reliable daily driver and to be able to trust my kids lives to its back seat on long trips down the highway. It is an East Coast truck, it has had holes in the body since the day i bought it and the PO tried to fill some of them with spray foam…. I probably should have swapped it or had it repaired when I swapped the frame but I never wanted a restored truck, just reliable and safe.
- H55F (New March 2018)
- Holley Sniper 2300 (March 2020)
- Desmoged
- Non-USA OEM distributor (City Racer) with electronic conversion
- Restored frame (January 2021)
- Rebuilt 2F (April 2024)
- Rear Yukon Zip Air Locker w/ARB dual compressor (August 2020)
- OME lift/springs
- Corbeau heated seats up front
- Modern stereo with back up camera and speaker amp
- Custom front & rear bumpers
- 33” Maxxis Razr MT’s (New February 2021)
There is a lot more to list but for the most part I have rebuilt or replaced everything except the body at this point. The truck always starts, it drives great, and it certainly has a lot of character.
The annoying:
- The heater core has a small leak judging by the occasional coolant residue on the floor. I have an OEM replacement that has been pressure tested but haven’t felt the need to swap it yet, nor had the time to rip out the dash.
- The exhaust is a bit of a piece meal operation at the moment as it recently rusted off from the y-pipe back. Man-a-Fre headers are in great shape, I’ve installed a brand new y-pipe and assembled a brand new Magnaflow muffler into the mix but it needs to be extended to the rear of the truck.
- The headlights are always in ‘bright’ because the cheap e-bay switch I installed to chase a turn indicator issue broke. I still have the original one in storage, it wasn’t the switch.
- I’ve never had carpet in the truck, I like the metal floor, it was painted black when I bought it. Have a brand new carpet kit in storage that I’d be happy to include.
- Same for the dash, I like the cracks but I have a dash cap if you’re into that kind of thing.
