most of the 6.2's around here are 1/2 tons...and allot of vans.


1 tons are rare.....but 3/4 are pretty common.

looking is free! give it a drive and see if you like it or not. for your needs, it should fit the bill if it runs/drives good and you can't see the ground between your feet when you look down.
just my $.02.

 

[LHP]

Yeah, for that price you cant lose.

It might be a neat super truck. It is a gamble to get one with a disel engine...it could cost a pretty penny to get repaired...so be prepaired for some cash outgoing when you don't expect it. If you can have someone you know look it over...that would be the best thing to do.

Hey guys update!! The truck is a heavy duty 1/2 ton single cab long bed with running boards sunviser grill gaurd and power windows and locks. The transmission was rebuilt as well as t case new batterys starter water pump and injection pump tuned up the paints new with little rust

 

[superds]

Buy it and take off the running boards, possibly the visor too. I don't care for those wind catchers.

It must be an automatic tranny, (esp. since you said it was rebuilt ) too bad. But I would probably buy it anyway.

 

[strvger]

sounds pretty darn good for the price. drive it and buy it!

 

[mn_smokeater]

ohh i shall man!

 

[AgPete139]

Dude, it's $750!

Buy it.

For the price you really can't beat it. I don't know about the 6.2, but the 6.5 is a pretty good engine, even if they love to burn oil (this could just be due to the infrequency of oil changes in our 6.5s, seems they don't drain the oil until they die). They make reasonable torque, enough to move 6 tons every day, sun or snow, driven hard or gentle.

The one thing I hate about them is the 4 speed automatic most of them are attached to (hydramatic I think), they seem to last half as long as the engine. When freshly rebuilt they shift fine, but you'll know when they're going out from the way it shifts.

 

[strvger]

sure you've driven it my now, so how was it? did you buy it? the suspense is KILLIN' US!!!!
