and you didn't. It was in the paper and I went out to look and it is a POS
but I negotiated with him and walked out knowing my wife would kill me if I
bought something like this. It has six respectable tires and a two speed
rearend. A twin cylinder hoist ,and a real nice homemade battery box. That
is all the good news. The bad news is that the two speed rearend doesn't
work and the bed wood is rotten, and the cross pieces and outside edge bed
metal is all shot. The windshield looks like the neighborhood kids are all
well armed, the cab step on the drivers side is the free flow air model, and
is not as bad as the bottom hinge. The left front fender is crushed, and the
doors are both smashed in as well as the windows broken.
The seat is the bare spring model and the brake pedal smashes to the floor
with no effort. The side of the block is slathered with JB weld, and it took
ten starts with starting fluid to get enough compression going to maintain
rotational momentum. There is no aircleaner , the battery dies out overnight
and the plates are expired. Other than that its a pretty nice truck.
So I came home and worked dilligently to finish a hutch for my wifes
teacups and tea pots. Mission complete, and now I can do no wrong. So I
have just hung up from telling the guy I'd buy it. Of course my wife has not
seen it, and knows nothing of this brilliant purchase.
Pray for me
