I bought this truck about a 4 months ago with intentions on fixing it up and cruising it this summer. After having it awhile I realize I can't afford to fix it up or to drive it. The truck has a 383 stroker motor (350 block with 400 crank bored .030 over) and lots of performance parts.
The drivers side fender is in primer as the previous owner hit a deer and didnt not have the fender repainted to match the truck. The bed has a nice dent in it from a recent storm where a small tree branch fell on it and put about a 1 1/2 inch deep dent in it. The front drivers side corner on the hood has a decent size dent in it from when the precious owner hit a deer.
The roof of the cab in the back also has a very small dent from a recent storm. The front passenger side fender has two scratches on it that are also pressed into the fender. When you lay on the gas it falls on it's face for about 1/4 of a second then hauls *** up until the transmission shifts to 3rd gear. This is deffinitley an easy to fix problem if your good at tuning carbs. It's either an accelerator pump problem or the carb needs rejetted. The transmission I put in it is leaking so i drained the fluid and i'm going to replace the pan gasket and pan and see if that is what was causing the leak. When i drove it 3rd gear was slipping horribly. I'm now starting to think that the cause was low fluid level. This would make it impossible for the 3rd gear clutches to engage because there wouldn't be enough fluid. Like i said I am going to attempt to fix this before I sell the truck. As for price I will wait and see what offers I get. If people low ball me I will just keep the truck and fix it up slowly so don't try. I'm not desperate to sell the truck I just think that someone with the money and time to devote to the truck would be better off with it than me. I cannot afford the gas anyways :-P. It has too many custom parts to list and while the list of bads seems long, that is honestly the only things i can find wrong with it. The truck is awesome and it turns heads even in it's present state. For the short period I drove it, i learned how fast it was.
