Big ol Burban?

Where’s it coming from?

When I have the title, I will fill you guys in. It’s not at the level of the one I sent you by your place. This guy focused more on mechanical than cosmetic. A 33 year old vehicle without a drop of oil or grease showing anywhere. In the last 4 years he went thru 90% of the mechanical. It just showed dust and a little dirt from driving.

Luck ran out, when the time for proof of ownership came up he ghosted me.

The vehicle actually exists. We were able to do a video call and look at it.

There were some orange flags but I had a third party able to take physical possession of it and the title in their impound lot. It could spend the next few days secured there until the shipper picked it up. He was set to be paid electronically as soon as they had possession.

Ghosted, on to the next one.

That sucks

However, those front ends are not near as good as a straight axle.

With Cognito parts doubt you'll find anything an IFS won't handle. I know of a 2500 with the 8.1 for about 5K. mtmuley

That sucks

Shows sold now. This is the second time a deal was struck with plans to get it. Neither communicated anything. Glad he said he wasn’t going to waste my time.

Found another already, internet is full of them.

I looked at a 96 and 03 so far. For what they are worth I just don’t see the value. Space, ground clearance, and simplicity has more value in a square body.

Funny you said that. I've been under my 2003 and 1986 this weekend. I understand. mtmuley

You’d think @noharleyyet would cut a better deal for a fellow hunttalker.

It’s “for sale”, not “on sale”…

Nothing I can see around here of the older vintage but a couple 2 wheel drive versions.

There is a lot of very clean 2wd pretty close. I’ve considered swapping bodies on one. I’ve seen complete drivetrain/frame for less than a grand. However not having a hoist makes those challenging.

I’ve got two I’ve in communication with. One basket case and one not so basket case but both good LS swap contenders.

It amazes me how many sellers don’t realize the odometer resets at 100,000 miles on 90 or older chevys. There are some ridiculously priced units. 17,000 original miles, true survivor, as good as it gets… only $32,500!

You look at the pics and see it’s been repainted. There is orange peeling on the rockers and door sill. Whoops, someone didn’t clean up the solvent when they replaced the rockers before they painted. Interior looks like it may have 200-300k. Yep, true survivor there…

SOLD! Finally the journey has begun.

1999 2500 4x4 119,000 miles. Spent its whole life in Pinetop AZ and Albuquerque, NM. Zero rust and a prime road trip rig.

Nice score

@mtmuley The value was 2400 bucks for a 119,000 mile 4x4. Couldn’t say no to IFS for that price.

Always liked the 2500 'burb.
