Popular Post ranchhopper Posted February 12, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 12, 2015 I finally got this truck bought I have been waiting for the owners decision to sell it to me for a good price. Shes ugly its been a yard dog for years but has some good parts my RS needs has a set of aluminum frame rails too I will use the steering wheel, battery box covers, power steering and hopefully the buds hubs off the rear drives.Im going to check it out good and see if I can drive it home after its insured owner says it has no real problems except its ugly and doesn't fit the company image its going to be a hard six hour trip home bob tailing they said its a 78 but Mike and myself figure its probably a 73 or closer to that. 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38903-bought-a-parts-truck-today/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomastractorsvc Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I hope you didn't give to much for it I was the high bidder the last couple times it was listed thought I had it the other day but they cancelled the auction about 1 hour left than relisted with reserve I was the high bidder when it closed yesterday.

Maddog13407 Posted February 23, 2015 Share Posted February 23, 2015 that's gotta be the baldest accessory gauge panel I have ever seen in an R model. usually they are riddled with 5 million holes. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/38903-bought-a-parts-truck-today/#findComment-280397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
