    Saved from a near death

    In 2001 I got this truck from a guy that owed me some money and couldn't pay so he signed the title over to me. It had a good motor and trans but the rest of the truck was BAD. After 6 months of working in my spare time I was able to get the truck back to a very good condition and then used it for a down payment for my 5th wheel.

    The guy owed me 3K and I got 10K for it :yay:

    You may have gotten a truck that was worth 3k but after you spent some time and mnoney on it was later worth so much more.

    Cool truck, I sell all kinds of equipment. If you ever need anything ask me or if you see something let me know I'll look it over for you and let you know if it's a good deal.

    Good lookin' rig. What year was it?

    I've always wanted to be a long haul trucker. If I wasn't so involved in my current career, I think trucking would be it. I've even thought about doing local trucking part time, but just haven't taken the first step.
