Ive seen this truck run in person and have always liked it and would have bought it last year if i had not been offshore. My question is what is different than when it was for sale for 3k on here less than a year ago? All it needed then was a tranny..

x2 i think he even said he'd let it go for 2K. I know ac/radio/trans was added. What else? Not knocking you, there's just something that we're missing/forgetting that you probably had to add so we're just wondering..

Well the list on page one is what the truck has to it. As for what it needed when I got is damn near everything. Had to replace shocks,balljoints, 02 sensors, ac, trans with all the addons, fluids, seals, tires, adjust this, wire that, straighten or align that plus diagnostics and troubleshooting. It all takes time and money. Basically spent almost a year getting it dependable and roadworthy while looking good. So if you look at the book on the truck and then take into account all it has on it and done to it you will see the worth. So if you think on the labor and parts that I put in it and then all he did to it my asking price is extremely fair. So there ya go. I know in a perfect world one would say hey he paid x amount and spent x amount so add the two together and that should be the asking price. Thats not reality but Im not far from it either. Hell if I added in all the labor I would be losing a lot...but Im not doing that. Basically you are getting this truck for the cost of about half the modifications not including the cost of the truck and labor. The age old response is try building a copy of this truck for this amount. Not a chance in hell that you or I could do it. But anyway thanks for the questions though, glad to answer them.
