And the latest.............The "kid with the rolling frame fer 1200" did not sound very motivated. I located a complete--poorly running V10 auto truck for 1500 a few miles away. He is supposed to set it up with his folks (it's at his parents house) and this might be the one. Frankly I don't have the room to junk or swap a complete truck, but for the difference in price, "why not."
This is same frame, AKA extended cab/ 8ft box, V10 (with problems) and automatic. I may keep his cab or mine, "we'll see" and of course this is "before the chick is hatched!!"
