Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new

[LCH]

Not really a true rebuild, but I bought my current hunting truck from a government auction. It needed a cam/lifter job.




I had a shop swap in a Jasper rebuild with MDS delete. It also needed a fuel pump. I put a small lift on it, along with a topper from another government auction.





It’s been holding strong for a few years now.

Government trucks are great. My current truck is a former Idaho F&G truck. Just stay away if the truck was used by a warden. mtmuley

I had a Navy F-250 4x4,4 door. 1965 ,very rare crew cab. It only ran around Port Hueneme before the auction. 95k miles. $1200 1978 high bid.
I put 556k on it and sold it and regret it still.
