Someone put a lot of effort into that truck.

That's  cheap. I paid that for a base model 2008 2WD with a 2.3 and 172k on the clock. I feel a little sick now...

 

[SenorNoob]

DAMN!! That could be $6500 here stock with 200,000 miles.

WTH is the fan looking thing facing down?

 

[Li'l Work Truck]

I wonder if it's a "me or the truck" thing...

Yeah, I don't have a good sense of current US prices but that seemed like a great price, maybe even too great. If that's legit it won't last long.

 

[SenorNoob]

There are some sign of less than stellar work. Like the cruise control buttons and the partially missing underhood insulation. Still overall I think potentially a great deal.

That thing would be a badass little sleeper

Sleeper? WIth those fat tires sticking out the back? Anyonewith a goodear will know there ain't no inline four or v-6under the hood of that thing.

Wonder what state it's in. I might actually want to buy that.

Yeah. That fan off to the side has me scratchin my bald-ass head again today.

I feel like that is a fan for the AC so it still works

I was actually thinking the same thing.

352 area code.Central Florida. 352-805-9305

Talked to the guy. He needs the money and the space. May be buying it tomorrow. I guess we'll just see, won't we.

I need to sleep on it though. Looks like it would be a hard truck to work on, even replacing belts. That engine appears to have been installed with a very large shoe horn. It's got headers, ladder bars and a rear sway bar as well. Bet it needs those ladder bars with that 425 cu. in. motor.

That 505 hp is more than my supercharged Lightning makes. And it is a heavy pig of a truck.

 

[cbxer55]

Don't know if I want to do this. My Spidey Sense is jangling here. LOL! It's in central Florida, I'm in central Oklahoma. He says shipping isn't a problem. One thing, it's the same color as my current 98. If I do it, I am swapping hoods. Putting the stock hood on my 98, putting the hood with the Boss 429 scoop and heat vents on this one. Think it would benefit from that swap.

At no matter what @cbxer55 you gotta ask what the heck is up with the fan beside the carb.
