I know the auction ended but the winner didnt pay for it. The truck is in my local area and the guy wants 8k for it.

good lord, that lift is just overkill.....

That's one heck of a truck, big ole motor too. Hope it wouldnt roll or nothing being that hi up. I'd say it looks really clean and if it runs liek a total champ it'd be a decent enuf buy. But you can always offer the dude less since it didnt sell. Keep in mind that big parts usually = big money so if that thing needs new tires it'll run you a buncha cash. Dont mean to discourage in fact i'd LOVE to have that truck. Good luck

id acutally probaly take the body lift off. and put 36's
It has all 3/4 running gear boxed frame and tubular transfer case drop.

Very nice truck, go for it, but not as an everyday driver.

devinfife · 06-04-2002, 04:21 PM

that truck would be sweet with some smaller tires and less lift. iw ould say go for it. it seems like a great price for all the stuff he's done to it. i just cant help but think he is compensating for something

Big69C20 Toy · 06-04-2002, 04:31 PM

keep the lift and go for 44's

but i do love them big trucks. Wont be much of a crawler but a fun muddin toy. those tires look like they gotta go anyway!

jsut one question
how come this isn't in your driveway yet??????????? HAHAHAHA

O'l Buck · 06-05-2002, 01:56 AM

I'm still trying to figure out what the point of that much lift is if all it has on it is 38" tires....way too much lift for that....IMO, the lift is to accomodate bigger tires for more axle clearance, why not use 44" tires or bigger with that much lift??....just wondering, it looks kinda out of proportion, but to each his own.

I'd be for dropping it to a 6" lift and using 35" tires, then it would be alot more useful.

If you can afford it, then it's probably worth the money, sounds like it was built to play and play hard. That truck would be a blast to own and drive.

My dad built a 68 awhile ago, it was a 68 3/4 and he cut the frame and put a short box on it. Shot it in hugger orange and traded it for a 87 IROC and a 77 1500 jacked up---can't beat the deal

anyway that truck is awesome..........they should try 40's on it
If i had the cash id buy it...........why are you all talking about using it?
There is no way in H@ll i would use that as a work truck
Just my opinion besides im aways around jacked up trucks and Big Blocks Jack
