thinking about buying this truck. here the specs: 86 stock 6.2 700/208 8" lift 1 ton axles out of a 87 k30. 4.10 gears ord crossover. soft top.. bit of rust, not to bad. runs good.. 38" tsls

how would it do doing 70 down the highway?? probally will get pretty low mpg i would think. seems like a fun truck to mess around with. for 1800 seems like a pretty good buy

what do you think? thanks

Sounds like a lot of good parts on the truck. Are you thinking of stripping it, for use on a Military Vehicle?

They were all(almost) fork-lifted and rusty too. Don't get excited by the final prices.

It sounds like it would be worth $1800 in parts alone. Wasn't long ago when Dana 60's were going for about $1200 alone.
