    we got another one

    picked this up today, i paid more than scrap but less than crap, it runs strong and shifts good it just looks like heck, it has the same bed as my new truck except rougher. its rear wheel drive instead of 4x4. our eventual plan is if we ever get big enough to buy from the salvage auctions we will use this truck and a future purchased 3 car hauler. ive already priced new tires and my body guy has given us a quote for body work and a new paint job. it will take a couple to few months to get to the paint as we are at the low end of where we like to be for buying cars. just wanted to share



    heres two of my others, my 1ton on day of purchase pulling the purple truck home and the 2nd pic is after the paint





    this is the only pic i could fine of my 94, its a cummins also its in the background

    i know, i hate to let any of them go, we was gonna take the wrecker to the auction last week and backed out, we are not gonna back out this week its gotta go, one of the car dealers we deal with is talking about starting financing again and say if he does we will do his repos so i may have a use for it sometime soon but its still in the talking stages and nowhere near a reality. i know i do have a good problem, ive said before you can't have too many trucks trailers wheel barrows or buckets, but i may be pushing it. i couldn't just couldn't let this one slide by

    I was just saying if your going to use that truck to haul a car trailer from auctions. I wouldnt pipe the stacks unless you want that black smoke drifting over all the cars you just bought.

    thanks liberty, im always looking but this one found me, a bailbondsman we buy from got it on a bond and he let me know he had it when i was picking up one of his others, and ive got a good poker face but i slipped a little . its full of tools the prizes being a 36in rigid pipe wrench, blue point ratchet and some gear wrenches, has a new turbo installed the old one is in the back seat, it has a new clutch in the box in the back seat, not sure why as the one in the truck is strong, my trucks average 65 a month for full coverage at state farm but still all of them are paid for and the insurance is way less than a payment would be on a new one. how many do you have?

    i know you guys wonder where i pick all this up at, but i know ALOT of people, i got a text today from my friend that owns the pawn shop that said adam had a car hauler for sale if i needed another one and hten he said lol like i would want another, i asked him how much and he was like really, anyway im set back from the last truck purchase, but i paid down on it and told him id finish it up next week, i couldnt pass on it and im not gonna say how much it was but if you average 1499 and 1501 you will get pretty close, the winch has a bad solenoid.
