What wrong with it Leo? Says Rust Free frame??? That ought to be a TBI 350 Vehicle and has a good trans already. Sure don't like those ugly kinda mirrors but they can be replaced easy enough. Driveshafts at our Pull A Part are $15 for a single, and $25 for a 2 piece with the carrier bearing.

1985 Chevy SWB 4x4

Here is another in OKC. An 85 Short Bed 4x4 for $1000 without a title. HMMMMM, wonder where I could a title? And since no title, I bet I could get this thing for $750 or $800 by the time I got done with the guy.

have i told you how much i hate you lately?

hotrodpc · 05-24-2009, 07:35 PM

Aww well, no need to be hating. I found several 4x4 and for some wierd reason, most are short bed. Seems they are going from $1000-$1400. Some nicer than others. You may just need to plan on a Spring Break to OKC or Tex and buy you a truck while here. But I know who has a Title and hopefully Vin. I'm not buying this truck. No Funds at the moment and I want my other projects to at least make some progress before I get another. Make a trip out of it. I don't think Brad is that far from me either. A few hour drive. I forgot where he said he was exactly now. Maybe between Brad and I, we can find you a truck, mail some detailed pics. Then you have to come visit to get it. We'll have a Truck Forum get together, you, Brad and I, and make the other guys wish !!! Hahaha NOT !!

don't tempt me, if that thing was a long box, i'd have you buy and hold it for me.

hotrodpc · 05-24-2009, 07:44 PM

You are wanting a long box too? That is also my preferance. Not sure why so many people want the short beds, but normally around here, you will pay $800-$1000 more just because its a short bed. I guess they say a short bed it more sporty, but I don't think so. Long beds ride smoother in my opinion, you can actually carry a sheet of plywood, etc etc. I have always preffered long over short. I do hope you save that plate from that other truck. It may come in handy for you some day and get you a real good deal on a truck. The ones around here that don't have a title go for much less in most cases.

bradrhale · 05-24-2009, 07:48 PM

mud, i already told you that i will sell you my 4wd.
