Cool 3+3 for sale in my neck of the woods. I can't justify buying a truck that won't fit in my garage though. Not to mention $35K is outta my league.

Ya, 35K is outta my league too, but setting that aside I'd love me a 3+3 4X4 minus the lift though for me.

$35k is crazy, especially considering that it is supposedly set up for heavy towing/hauling but they put frickin 6" lift blocks in the back and it has a TBI 350 in it. The Dana 60 and rare 91 only NP205 with the VSS are huge plusses though.

Very nice 3+3. Someone, somewhere has that much loose change in their piggy bank.

That's what I figure too. Even at $35K, this one will sell in a reasonable amount of time.

It sure would be a lot nicer without all the decorations on it.

Lot of cans of spray paint went into rebuilding the undercarriage.

I don't know about this truck. $35k is a lot of money and I can't find anything that I wouldn't want to redo. Everything looks just OK, not perfect. $15-20k maybe to me.

I'll pass. Too many questionable things scream at me as its a quick flip. I've never seen a sway bar drop that was a c-channel all have been rectangular tube. 4800 in the interior that's new, just don't see it... anywhere carpet and door panels look like they were shampooed. Wires hanging down from headliner. Overspray on the shocks and fresh coat on the axles, frame, and left the driveline red greasy and dirty. Someone will buy though.

Cool, yes because it's a big cowboy Cadillac.
For sale in the middle of the rust belt = worth more than other locales...but $35k?? ROFLMAO....and about 10 other letters worth of acronym words!
Captain rattle can even got some on his shoes and then stepped on the gas pedal with wet paint on his feet!

The cowl hood looks like a stick on piece, like all the beener trim pieces at Vato Zone.
Interior...um, new dash pad, face plate and carpet, combined with $250 Craigslist half wore out seats and some scrap diamond plate to cover up the other trim pieces that he didn't want to buy.

And a spray bombed gutless "stock" powerplant? With a probably backyard swap used 4L80 out of the same 2500 Burb that he got the "custom" seats from?

Thanks for sharing someone's delusion!

All that said, I love seeing folks try to boost the value of "our" vehicles.

A 4wd 3+3 truck is a gem in itself, however this particular one seems to be a stretch at 35k. The amount of rattle canning and awfully fresh exterior paint, would make me be wary of excessive fiberglass bodywork, and other hidden problems. If this was a 15K truck, I'd say maybe. As a 35k truck, I'd say no. Luckily for the seller, there are plenty who'd say yes. Afterall, my neighbor bought a mismatched '86 C10 in pieces with low quality body work and an atrocious interior for $7000. No matter how ridiculously high a price is to the majority of us here, there's plenty in this world who happily impulse buy expensive things without a second thought or prior research. My neighbor regrets his decision, but the seller of the truck sure is happy.

That's an old aftermarket cowl scoop that bolts on. They were also made for S10's and the newer body '88+ trucks. I think Lund made them, maybe another company too.

The fact that some dingbat drilled into a perfectly good hood to mount that monstrosity and only had a 350 under it, makes this truck look even worse.
