10 grand seems a little high being that its wrecked and has 208,000 miles on it but im not a Cummins guru

 

if you scroll down, they actually want 2500

 

ah well hell! My mouth spoke before I read completely. That I would pay 2500 for!

 

Current bid is like 2500 and some change... might actually be able to get it for a reasonable price. the 10 grand value is in its UNwrecked form.

Not sure if you could use your bumper, etc, to fix that one though....... Could sell your 1500 to pay for the necessary parts to fix the oil burner though, and probably still have money in your pocket.

 

not a chance, shes got 230k and a good amount of rust, but its gonna be fixed, what do you think i can get, its a 97 1500 with the 360, and the new dodge 17's on it

 

post a pic. Is it standard cab? I have a snow plow for our trucks but dont want to put a plow on mine and rot it out.... I may be interested, if your saying its rusted out pretty bad that would make a good snow plow truck for me next year

 

It would make a great little plow truck. I just rebuilt the front end about a month ago. The rust isn't to bad but its bad enough to make my eyes sore. I have some pics of it posted in my garage.

 

Actually, his truck is in better shape than mine..... Regular Cab short bed. Looks to me like it would make an excellent plow truck.

 

It doesnt "look" to bad of shape, have you looked at it in person? and not the "53" block if that was the year? and read this if you havent already kinda going in blind....http://www.salvagetrucksauction.com/...nto-California At the time the vehicle arrived at Copart's facility, Copart verified that the vehicle (i) started, (ii) could be put into gear, and (iii) was capable of moving forward under its own power.
