300 bucks later

picked this up from a friend w bad head gasket. Needs drivers door and drivers fender.

 

I hate you

 

Buddy had motor rebuilt and 12 miles later it overheated. Kicked in drivers fender and door and called me to buy it

 

Where are you located? I have a door and probably even a fender in my pile of parts.

 

Picture makes bed of gray truck look looong.

Good way to spend $300.

 

The tow truck is my 2015 ram 2500 qc Long bed 4x4 cummins with manual 6 speed. I’m in va beach

 

Let’s drink beer and stare at it!

 

Sounds like you're going to benefit nicely from your buddy being a hot head when he gets frustrated.

Hopefully he's not an LEO too.

 

That house that 3 different shades of shingles.

 

Haha that’s my buddies place. He lives in a town home.

 

Y’all think it’s worth repairing the bed, or flat bed it?

 

Why can’t I have friends like this

 

Flat beds can be cool. I guess it depends on what you intend to do with it overall? If it was me, I'd keep the bed if at all possible. I think it'd be cool to have one of these trucks as close to original as possible. If you plan to mod it -or- wheel it, then ditch the bed!

 

Hunting, daily drive it, it’s rusted in the usual spots nothing I can’t fix, but it would be time consuming and I have no idea where to get replacement panels

 

Upon further inspection this morning the bed is shot. I don’t know what’s holding the bedsides on geez. Just missed a guy by a couple days selling a rust free bed and gate for 250. I did manage to snag door and fender from him for a cool 80 bucks

 

What year!?

 

I still kick myself to this day for passing on a $500 T4R 9 years ago... it didn't run, and at the time I didn't have a place to store a project vehicle.

I hate myself.

Nice purchase!

 

It’s a 1988. Cab is solid. I’m gonna do the carpet and such when I get a new door. Obviously dump tube bumpers for stock. Get it running and save for sas I’ll also build a flat bed if I cannot find a decent stock bed
