IA 81 k30 CC on new 40"s

Bump.

We'd planned on keeping it. Sold the olds and were going to build this. But besides the fact that it's cool and we can say we own it, none of us have any interest in 4wheeling' any more. :dunno:
Nothing we couldn't do with the 2500hd anyway.
We have my burb, and her monza to build on.
We'll let Kaz pick a car/truck in a few years.
But even then, this won't be what he's driving for school/work. Soo......

Every spare part I have for a square goes with.
Including 3 perfect doors, bunch of inner door stuff. Random odds and ends as I find them. The jigs I made to hold the trans and Tcase for removal.
The 12k winch.

To someone on here,
$6000. (Tires, wheels, and axles are worth more than that)
$1000 more gets it delivered anywhere within 12hrs of the eastern tip of Iowa.
$500 if it's less than 6.

Mechanically, frame to the concrete, is solid and reliable. Engines a beast, Tcase and axles been rebuilt, ... Body's just rough.
Put a better body on, or repair this one, and make it a driver, or cage it, Bob it, and BEAT the snot out of it.
I even have 4 sticks of mildly surface rusted in places, 2" x .120" DOM, I could negotiate on and bring with.

I'm going to have the wife list it on marketplace for the original $8500 in a few days.
 
Engine is a typical smog era 454 with peanut ports, but it's been bored .040, given a HEALTHY dose of cam, and dual springs done.

Now, I was TOLD them specs. I don't know if it's stroked, bored more than that, had the heads worked on, etc ... I don't know really.
But with the 37's it had for a while, with 3:73 gears, I could smoke em like it was a Chevelle or something. It still has the 3:73's. Which are actually still decent driving around with the 40's. So it has enough power to do that, and not die constantly. But it doesn't like to roast em as much anymore lol.


This truck came stock with the inline 6. It's also a true one ton cab still, and did NOT come with cab lights. So kind of a rare duck in that aspect.
I was told that can't happen, but this one did.

465/205 combo
60/14b. Open/ G80
New ish tom woods front shaft.
 
I have a repair panel cut out of a square for that cab corner. And the inner rockers. Just never put any of it in.
That all goes with too.

That's actually what I assumed you meant, as just as is but with stock type tires.
Can't really sell it like that, as I wouldn't have any idea how to price it all, and still get my $6k when it's done lol.
 
Edited down, to $5000.
It'll never go lower than that. I'll cut it up into a buggy, or part it out first.
Which I keep trying to convince myself not to do. Lol.

If I buggied it, I'd still be selling it... But I'd try and raise the price. And I just can't see it selling that way either :dunno: .

I've owned this truck twice as long as my suburban, and 3 times longer than anything else with wheels I've had. It's hard to sell it.
But seeing it sit, is even harder.

I'm willing to travel and deliver for gas at 8 mpg x whatever price is at my local station before I leave. (Figured off Google maps avoiding tolls)
Plus $150 a night for hotel stays if I need them.
I usually drive 7-8 hrs in a day max.

Rather go no more than a couple nights away, so....

10-12 hrs by Google maps, from clinton IA. (Flexible)

Could meet and swap to your trailer, or you could just drive it the other half back if you're farther than that away.
Even on 40"s it cruises sweet at 75.


The $5000 price includes all square body related parts I have left, including the 3 perfect, rust free doors. But I'm keeping the badlands winch at that price lol. Still use it for my trailer.
