let's see what you can do Bobby

Post by Alsatian »

I'm looking for a work truck. F350 Diesel 4x4 crew cab. Must be old, ugly and cheap (let's keep BB out of this). Things that must work:
engine
trans
4x4
tires
windows

bonuses:
ac
radio
doors

I'm a wood worker and need a truck for getting mesquite trees. I prefer to just drive right up to the trees, so paint isn't a big concern because it will be gone soon enough. I'll keep this truck for a year and sell it and get another junker, that is if I don't drop a tree on it. Let me know what you can do. It's the end of the month and labor day weekend. Hope you get some crappy trade ins. :D


Anyone else that has something that might work is more than welcome to post up.


P.S. I have cash, just not a lot. :P

you want tires and windows? That's a pretty tall order. I'll shoot some pics of anything we get, and send them your way.

Technically yes they could be in the backseat. I guess I should have clarified that. Working windows.

Found one. Wasn't exactly what I was looking for but had the major criteria covered.
1999 Chevy 3500 LS
454
automatic trans
4x4
Crew cab
windows (all 4 power windows work)
power locks
power seat
decent paint, some pealing but no dents, not even in the bed.
Ranch Hand front and rear
Tool box/fuel tank combo in bed
a/c
radio
doors
dually
124,000 miles
and most importantly $5500
First thing I did was put it to work.
Slingshot, you're the car guru what do you think?

That's a steal. Good find. Everything we have been getting is newer, and well north of 20 grand.

Finding a good used truck is difficult but there are some food deals out there. I find it hard to take a $10k + truck through the brush like I'm going to do.

Thanks for keeping an eye for me.
