Just switched them to public . Wow! That a heck of a deal. Mine is also 100% rust free and is in very good shape for its age and mileage. Somebody took very good care of it before me.

Thanks! Very messed up. That truck was a 2003 Chevy Avalanche. ( My dads truck) He was going through the intersection and someone ran the light back in 2007... I am pretty excited to have this as my first truck, My sister got a 1990 Pontiac Bonneville as her first car , so I am very grateful.

Boise,Idaho. It was on Craigslist for sale by dealer, Carfax says it came from NY originally, Owner of the dealer(Small Dealer) told me it was his friends truck.

Congrats on the truck!
I got my first truck for a steal for mine when I bought it last month.... $300!!!! **Three Hundred Dollars!** thats not a typo! (for the truck in my avatar & signature pic!) my Ram is a 1997 1500 Sport Extended Cab 4x4 with a 360! I drove it out of the previous owners place and it actually ran great home despite only needing a tune up and plenum gasket...Previous owners were getting married and needed cash by that saturday and they thought the motor was toast cuz it used oil (it was a plenum gasket & bad pcv as well as old plugs & cap) replaced that $87 later it runs great and does smoky burnouts with no oil useage!.
As an added bonus it had a working cd player & great sound system! I always figured I'd have to settle for throwing my 1984 360 into a early 90s Dakota...the 97 Ram definitely makes me feel great that never came to reality

I found a way to kill a 360. Had just paid off my '98 a couple months prior to me killing it. Wife decided that because it was paid off that we'd just have liability on it. Needless to say, truck got stuck cat. got so hot it set the grass on fire and I just barely got out when a flame shot up behind me. I now have an '02, so far so good.
