Here's the long story.
This is a structurally solid LWB, orginally from GA.
The truck lived in Georgia until 2000 when it moved to Highland County, Virginia.Somewhere around '02, the lady was driving home from Roanoke when the "transmission" failed. It was towed to her farm where it sat for 5 years. I bought it, towed it home, put an LT230 in it and drove it daily until we overheated it in Sep '08.
At that time, with the help of Chapman and Noee, we replaced the heads, gaskets, cam, pushrods, lifters. It also has a new H2O pump, timing chain, and some other stuff. It has new TRE's, tires are ok, airbags are gone and it has some stock springs on it and some OMEwhatever shocks. Exhaust is good all the way back, although if you have to get it emission tested....uh-hmmm....I think the cats are sorta empty if-u-know-whut-uh-mean.
Now, after the motor work, it is still carbonating into the expansion tank. It never overheats, but I think it is slightly overpressurizing somewhere because the top hose feeeels a little harder than my other two trucks by comparison. Some have suggested that it may have a slight crack somewhere in the block. Maybe it does. I dont know and I need the space in the driveway so I can fix the other trucks.
The truck is Ardennes green with saddle brown interior. There really isn't any rust to speak of but the roof paint and the tailgate look like crap.
If you aren't too far away and want to take on a solid project, come and get it.
$1387
$1900 and you get a replacement 4.2 with it.
Or, PM me some offers
I'll get pics at some point.
