Or truck trading in this case. LOL
I had bought a 97 Dodge Ram for my shop truck. Hated the damn thing. Needed a truck by the next day so I could pick up my lifts for my shop and after looking at many trucks it was the only decient one..... or so I thought. Old dude lied his ass off to me. Said he had it for years and was for his daughter. Going to my insurance agency I find out it used to belong to my insurance guy and he showed me his old reg, just sold it a few months before to the old dude.
Overhauled the brakes, changed out the nasty oil and flushed the motor. Thing still missfired bad. Thought it was a bad intake gasket (common issue). Turned out there was almost no compression in #1.
Here is that bish.
Posted up for sale and let people know it had a missfire. Dude with a very clean 1988 Jeep Comanche wanted to trade straight up. I made sure he knew how the Dodge ran and he didnt care, just wanted to trade. Jeep had high miles but ran great with a couple exceptions. Needed a clutch master, trans mount and brake work. So I traded.
I liked the truck fine and was very reliable but was too damn small..... and purple.
So I put it up for sale and was hammered with people within an hour. Best one was a dude with a sweet 96 Chevy 1500. Uber clean but no AC and needed a door handle and some brake work (again with the brakes) lol.
So I fixed all that.... well the door handle is on its way.
I let the guy know his truck booked for over double of what the Jeep was worth but he just had to have the truck.
Anywho, for the price of a crappy worn out Dodge I ended up with one sweet and clean shop truck.
1996 Chevy 1500 Silverado. 5.7v8 and loaded with only 132k on it. Never was a Chevy fan but I dig this truck.
