Feeler: 1979 Cummins CTD Chevy in Texas.

Man, I don't look through the for sale forums for a while and look at what I miss out on. I still wish I could have gotten it back the first time. Sent you a pm.

in case anybody is interested, i'm going to texas in may, and could drive it back up this way

 

[laketex]

I currently have a deposit on the truck and delivery will happen on Sunday. I'll let you guys know if it falls through.

Better for you this way. Right now I only have $10 I could put down.

BUMP - Yea, dragging this up from the dead.

Bryan is looking to sell the rig still. He can be contacted at [email protected]. NEW ASKING PRICE IS $7500. See page one for pics and info.

 

[KRAZIE87K5]

BUMP, this truck is a steal at $7500 guys!

I think that they only use one battery in them. They are not like chevy and ford that need two.

I would think 2 batteries would be better as you have more jouice to draw from. just my 2 cents worth for the day

 

[KRAZIE87K5]

You drop the $7500 on the table and I'll personally buy the second battery. Everyone happy now?

Lets get this thing sold boys!

[KRAZIE87K5]

Sure thing man! I'll send ya a PM in just a few minutes.

 

[joez]

Just so i can torture myself some more, did this get sold yet?

 

[K30CJ]

Last I knew, Bryan still had it, but had some people interested. If I was smarter, I'd have bought it back. Instead I now have a payment.

 

[darkshadow]

come ON do my idea.

it is a garnted sell for the money you want!!!!!!!!

sell 140 raffel tickit at 50 bucks each, after all the tickits are bought you draw a name out of a tire or something and the winner gets the truck!

i'll be in for a few

 

[mountainexplorer]

If this truck still is for sale, I'll be after it again. But I had thought it got sold.

 

[chasone64]

So is it still for sale???

 

[KRAZIE87K5]

Yes, its still up for sale. There are a couple interested parties, but Bryan's been a bit too busy to complete the sale just yet.

 

[KRAZIE87K5]

Ok Boys, The Truck Sold! Thanks For All The Interest.

I bought it! My wife and I flew down to TX Saturday morning and drove it back to NC. Other than a lady having a heart attack on the plane so that we had to divert to a landing in Nashville (not major though - she walked off the plane), there were no big surprises. It was a LONG drive back.

The truck ran great on the trip home. LOTS of power - much different than my stock 1990 6.2 diesel Suburban with 3.42 gears. Going through the mountains of TN into NC was really fun. It is nice to hear the turbo spool up.

I have a few things to do to get it to pass NC inspection (licence plate light, horn, and e-brake cables). Then I need to add a receiver hitch so I can tow my bumper pull trailer, and then I can start on the interior and weatherstipping as I get time. I guess I should start looking for a gooseneck to pull with it too.

Thanks again to Bryan for picking us up at the airport, some last-minute repairs on the truck, and serving us lunch. Thanks to Dan for helping put us in touch with Bryan. And also thanks to John (K30CJ - the previous owner) for being helpful and providing us with background info on the truck. I'm glad to finally have the Cummins I've always wanted!

Glad I could help. That truck definitely pulls hard. 13K lbs. behind it didn't phase it. The main thing to remember - I recommend you keep the trans overfilled with 5 qts. of 5W30 synthetic and not abuse it, and it should last a long time. Those Getrags will not survive for long on the factory fill level (3.5 qts.), or on gear oil. I used Mobil 1 in the trans. Some pics would be cool when you get the interior done.
