Subject: [oletrucks] I bought a 57 dump truck
>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.
