Im looking for a 40 and about crapped my pants looking at that truck and engine. Way out of my price range unfortunately. Good luck with the sale.

This looks like a fellow Texan's truck (Eric R), he moved back to the bay area circa 2008. Is that where you got it?

 

[timmyc99]

Well, the original truck (minus the conversion and all the subsequent work) came from TX, so..... maybe?

 

[arcteryx]

No, Eric did the conversion himself, so it must be different. It was running/driving when he left Texas, he took it to Roundup one year

 

[timmyc99]

Ahh, fair enough. He clearly had excellent taste in vehicles!

any issues or have you worked out all the bugs. what are my chances of flying in and driving it back to Alabama without any major issues?

 

[timmyc99]

I haven't had a single mechanical issue. She's always started right up, even this past Feb when it was super cold. There are some spots of surface rust, as mentioned, but none of that affects driveability. I haven't driven her at all on any super long distance trips, but I would forsee her making the trip well.

Who did the conversion?

Was the engine rebuilt or resealed? Not clear from your first post?

The conversion was done by TorFab in Seattle - Tor has been great to work with, if you are in the area you really should look him up. Engine was torn down to long block and re-sealed, new belts, water pump, paint, etc with all OEM parts, sorry if there was any confusion about that.

 

[orangefj45]

You might consider editing your original post then. If the engine wasn't rebuilt, then you shouldn't advertise it as that. Yet you clearly state more than once that it was rebuilt.
Also, given that you have 26 posts on here ( the majority in this thread ), you're basically an unknown on here. So stating a rebuilt engine when it's not greatly diminishes what little credibility you have.

But the good thing you've got going for you is that it's a cool rig and the conversion was done by a shop with a great reputation. They've earned that reputation and I consider them good friends of mine.

George, thanks for pointing out the discrepancy. Edited the top of my top where it was mis-stated, left the later statement about the resealing. Thanks for the help.
