LC79 2015 body only without frame

[Gun Runner 5]

Maybe Christi could help out

I would definitely thin my current herd to own the dual cab ute.

In the event that only LHD units are available, could you relearn that style of vehicle operation?

I could spend a few days driving around the farm before I got out in traffic. : )

Just out of curiosity what does one of these units cost through slee? I can get my requested info in PM if it is not wanted to be shared on the forum. Also why is everyone doing the 79 pickup? Would a 76 series not work on the 80 series frame?

My assumption is essentially the old axiom "if you have to ask ...."

 

[cruiserdan]

Its "a lot".

 

[wardharris]

Its "a lot".

Kind of a relative term. My guess is that the variables might drive that number quite a bit - new/reman motor or salvor take-out, new/reman trans, etc.

I need to get a real job or something.....

Yeah, but its got quite a lot of miles on it

But at least it's got an engine.

BAZINGA!

 

[wardharris]

BAZINGA!

No fawkin' compassion heresabouts ...

Back on tech, I wonder what a low mile 3UZ-FE would cost at the scrappers...

 

[cruiserdan]

Go for it!

And I would sacrifice part of my retirement to have this setting next to it. View attachment 1079164

Don't worry you will be buying mine in 2021

Next one I'm building....working on finding the cab nowView attachment 1079165 .

Aren't we all. I would love to get one right now but finding one is posing to be an issue.

I probably won't be able to pass the drivers license eye test by then.

 

[wardharris]

Go for it!

Oh, what a feeling....

 

[OGBeno]

Well that's at least a start Ward.

As some of you know, I am a better starter than finisher....

We never set out to build this for a customer (in other words add up costs). However I can assure you it turned out not minimal since we decided to build it as a new truck, so virtually everything is new or reconditioned. Essentially a frame up. As Chris mentioned, start with a big check book. We are working on a new website and once it is done we will do a build thread. But I know to sell it, it would have to be north of $100k if you take all the time and costs involved into account.
