Here's the story with the truck. A guy in Ft Lauderdale buys alot of trucks from GSA and GL. He buys alot of parts trucks and the like since there is a pretty decent market here for axles (another reason I need one). He told me he had a truck coming in with a weird bed and mentioned pipe truck. I was there when the lowboy pulled in and about tripped over my chin. Right there in the flesh was a mostly complete and mostly rusted out pipeline truck. With shipping he had about $1700 in it. We bickered back and forth and came to the deal that he would strip off all he wanted that wasn't related to the pipeline equipment and I could buy the rest for $500. We shook and it was final. I then went and started opening the tool boxes. I expected rat droppings and garbage since I've never seen a pipeline truck with all the BII pieces. I'll bet I looked like a ghost when I opened the left box and found the motherlode of goodies. I didn't have the cash to give him right there but he assured me the truck was mine. This friend runs a towing company and refers to his drivers as mutants. They screw up everything. Considering that I asked if I could remove these very rare items and he said sure. When I went home that morning all the BII stuff was in the back seat of my police car. It was 3 months later when the truck finally made it home. We later struck up a deal and I traded a metal car port for the truck. I also bought the front winch assy for $500. He sold the front axle and another rear for $1200 and that combined with what I gave him, he recovered his money. He still has the engine and trans for another project. Now if I can just get a deal on a front axle. BTW, found a brand new in the crate rear axle assy with the air lock diff for $850. I'm going to have to have that too (I hope).
