at least it wasn't a 'no'

Good luck if you chose an old dodge
Spend more time looking for parts then working on them

True!!! She said in a few weeks when we win the lottery!!!!! There is HOPE!!!!

 

[nutz]

As long as she didn't say how much you need to win ......

on the plus side she didn't say how big the lottery win had to be to let you buy a truck

I will go by scratcher tickets until I win something!!!!!!!
We need a backup after that storm killed my old 3500 Ram. Me giving $3-4000 for a 20 year old mostly woreout pickup will be the deal!

 

[mygasser]

20 year old? i'd be looking at 50-60 year old trucks myself

 

[nutz]

How about a 75 year old dodge pickup
Im sure you will beable to find parts
After it warms up ill get it going again

Sorry I’m working on that now and freaking hate it. I am not a truck guy. 1972 F100 short box four-wheel-drive. Got roped into doing it for a friend whose dad bought this truck back in the early 80s from the original owner.

Looks nice for a ford......
