monster man
1/2 ton status
14 bolt FULL FLOAT, 38.5x11" Boggers on 15x8 rims, 4" Tuff Country front, ORD shackle flip rear, extended brake lines, raised steering arm, ORD heavy duty front shackles, Rancho 5000 shocks, Chevy 396 motor swapped in, AC (needs work), toolboxes, rebuilt quadrajet
well, I got no bites on the tires/lift separately so I'm going to try hard to sell the whole truck, even taking a loss. I am losing my storage space so it needs to go QUICK.
Have over $4,000 invested and the tires and lift are barely used.
The reason they are barely used is because I can't register it, and thus, can't drive it on the street- it won't pass smog here. BUT, it is fairly reliable and it does run OK. Could use some gearing (I already got the 4.56 open carrier and gears for the rear 14 bolt, just need to put it in and get gears for the front)
If you have a smog lax state that doesn't test that far back you're in good shape :-)
I'm going to be honest here- the truck is pretty darn hammered body wise. The only good poart is the cab, all other body panels are damaged. Carpet pulled out and scrapped, interior panels are OK but could use a dye job. Seat has a new cover on it. It's led a hard life but this thing has plenty left in it. Tires, lift, and axles alone are worth the purchase price- throw them in your half ton, STRAIGHT BOLT IN!
Mechanical problems: Well, it doesn't pass smog, that's the main one. Also, input bearing on trans needs to be replaced. Fan only works on low speed.
Otherwise it's pretty solid- stops well, tracks straight, it just looks bad.
As said, the components alone are worth the asking price.
MAKE OFFER PLEASE! I need to move this, and I'll go with the best offer in the next couple weeks, thanks!
