What are you trading for it?

 

[Swims350]

why trade yhour truck for another when you were trying to sell yours?

I like that it's older and stick shift but why trade when you wanted to sell yours?

That new one is perfect for me except for I want a short bed.

 

[jake wells]

my transmission is slipping and my rear axle is making noise but it is full of gear oil and my engine has developed a rear main leak its my truck im been trying to sell for 500$

and this one is ten times BETTER and everything works on it and it starts easier.

no more TBI for me

 

[Old77]

Can't beat $700

 

[Irishman999]

i could have sworn you had a blue and white 1 ton dually. That actually does sound like an alright deal assuming that black truck runs better.

 

[Old77]

I wouldn't mind buying a good running truck for 700-1000 just to bum around in and wrench on a little bit

 

[jake wells]

that blue and white dually i gave it to my dad for his birthday as he always said he wish he could afford a big truck
he about had a stroke when i tossed him the keys.
he did say the gas mileage is terrible at 10 mpg city and 13 highway.

and then i got that heap of SH*T truck and now im trading it for a lot better truck

I am blown away, that was a sweet truck. I don't recall the one your driving around now though, the new one will definitely be a project but worth the effort. I like it.

 

[Mr Clean]

Not bad, and it has my favorite wheels on it.

 

[Jaymez]

Are those Outlaw I's on it?

I have a BRAND NEW set of 15" Outlaw II's, with lugs and centers, waiting to go on my truck.

Looks straight and solid, which is a good place to start from. Is it a column shift manual hooked to the 350? I didn't know they did such things! LMC truck and the local boneyard is gonna love your ass!

 

[jake wells]

i got the shift kit for the floor as of now so it will be 3 in the floor

yep parts are not cheap and easy to find

 

[Old77]

So you actually made the trade? I wasn't sure if the transaction
was complete yet or not!
