The citation is still in effect, so they need it off the property. Most of you know the story from following this. Seems like I came onto it fast, then have to let it go just as quickly.

If anyone here is interested let me know, or if they know someone, let me know.

Its gotta go soon...unfortunately.

Here is the most updated link: http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/4115016636.html
just find another place to store it for 30day even if you have to pay for storage and then after the 30 days move it back.

I've tossed that idea around for the past few weeks. Apparently the inspector could come tomorrow or in 2 months. OR he could come tomorrow and then come back in 8.

Basically I just picked a bad place to store it.

Still for sale as of now...I wish it could be gone this weekend.

You need 50 posts. I'm with wolfie, I say store it. I think people are interesting but not coming to look because they think it's a Cummins, then realize it's not and don't want anything to do with it.

Or get it registered as a farm vehicle if you know any agriculturally inclined folks!

Eh, I'm moving on. This whole thing has put a sour taste in my mouth. Waited two years and finally get the truck...then all this happens. I'm just going to move on and say it was just never meant to be.

Pass it along to anyone you know. At this point, I'll even give a finder's fee to anyone that can help me move it to a new owner. I'm thinking 5% of the sale price. So if it goes for $1000, Ill give them $50.

So a little update. Someone offered to trade me a 1987 dodge ram w250. Has a 360 with a new carb, lifted, with brand new 38.5in TSL boggers. It does need a new tranny.

I am not really interested in the muddin' world. Sorry to any that are. I am just wondering if I were to trade, would I be able to sell this different truck faster? I am still in the same boat, I just think I could get rid of a 1987 easier than the 78.

It's possible to sell it faster. Quite possible you could get more money for it.
