Re: $800 94 2500 two wheel drive"Stinky"

As for driveable. Stinky had two broken leaf springs. Not like a middle spring more like the eye broken clean off(apparently a pallet and a half of concrete will do that). I knew this when the purchase price was discussed.

I replaced the both the leaf springs in the P.O. driveway then drive it home 4 hours from VA to NC. It drove great. Rides nice and idled along at 70mph until I hit rain.

Next bought brand new Falken 235 85r16s and threw them on. Much better ride.

Cleaned out the bed from 5 years of yard waste that was left in it to rot. Only a couple of little rust spots and the rubber cab floor liner was worn and soaked(Stinky).
