DE Sold

[joshuak]

$5k
1986 M1009
Stock drivetrain, axles, etc.
Odom. 125xxx miles.

Only mods are: replaced OEM fuel filter base, added a couple gauges, custom battery cables and replaced fusible links with fuses. Also upgraded starter relay, glow plug card, LMC HD headlight harness, door/window rubber replaced within the last 7yrs.

Not perfect but a good truck. Everything works as designed and has been maintained, daily drove her for a 4,5 yrs before getting a company truck.









Reason for selling is I don’t drive her and no under roof storage. Tags and insurances are a yearly bill, bothers me to see it covered in leaves and pollen, I clean, leaves fall, cycle repeats and I still haven’t gone anywhere in her.

Snip from a post that I can’t get out of my head and it keeps ringing the truth bell enough that I made this post: “…So many ideas/projects and truthfully just not enough time.”

I’d be happy to provide more pics and details to any serious buyer.

Thanks for looking.

Ttt.

Drove her to work today, power washed and took some pics.

 

[kgblazerfive]

That would be almost economical to bring out here.

 

[Big Ray]

That is a sweet rig.

Always wanted one. Wish you were farther away. (I’m about an 1 1/2 away) hope it sells soon

 

[joshuak]

Always wanted one.

I know what you mean .

Wish you were farther away.

I’ve felt that way about others too.

(I’m about an 1 1/2 away)

I think you’re the only other active ck5er on the shore. I’ve been paying attention to your build thread in case you need a hand, but you’ve been knocking it out of the park. Keep up the good work. Holler if you need it.

hope it sells soon

I don’t, I like seeing her. She’s only posted for sale here because I know it’s the adult thing to do.

But whatever, when she goes she goes with a decent stash of Cucv specific parts. Hope new owner enjoys and keeps up the maintenance.

*edit yeah I know, stupid to have feelings about machines…

 

[Big Ray]

No, it's not.

 

[metalmachine]

Clean rig! It’s exactly what I’ve been looking for, but don’t have the cash right now. If I did, I’d make the drive up there.

You still trying to sell this? Is it still 24 volt under the hood?

Not trying very hard, lol.

Yep, starting and charging is still 24v.

After seeing some more of our stuff stolen and having realized more how much of our stored stuff is just ruined by sitting, I started formulating a quote/saying/mantra to this effect:
"if you let it sit, something will take it from you".
It's OK for it to go and hopefully someone will use it like you did. Better than having it sit till it's ruined.

 

[joshuak]

I usually really enjoy reading your posts, this one is no different. Thank you for sharing.

... I started formulating a quote/saying/mantra to this effect:

I understand and follow you. May borrow that myself.

After seeing some more of our stuff stolen ...

I think if we could institute chopping off a hand at first offense, then hanging at second offense we could get a grasp on this thieving bs.

It's OK for it to go and hopefully someone will use it like you did.

Best case scenario.

Better than having it sit till it's ruined.

I want to say that would never happen on my watch. But I know life can throw a curve ball in a fast ball count, leaving me buckled at the knees.

Perhaps FB marketplace here I come.


Btw Stephen, big fan of what you have going on there at ORD and of the high quality components you make available for us.

Looking forward to seeing videos of your k30 on this years ultimate adventure.

Admit to re watching your rig in action, specifically the hill climb @ min.13:30 more than a few times.

*edit turn up the volume for to hear that motor sing

 

[joshuak]

Fair winds and following seas my friend.

Having been to your shop I’d say you have ample space to dispose of bodies…..just saying.

Yup, couldn’t take it any longer. Had to take it home today. Thanks Josh, great meeting you today.

Looks like it’s going to a good home.

Glad it went to fellow enthusiasts. Truck was whispering to me way over here

Truck was on my mind the entire trip I just took...
