Hey all,
Figured I would give an update.
Probably my sketchiest purchase to date, no engine, and bad transmission is hanging from the rear mount, and "I'm gon git you a title, dont you worry bout that. I'll section 42 it if I have to!" Luckily the grand total is under 1000 bucks, and the DB2831-4911 is already in my possession.
1993 GMC C3500HD, longest wheelbase available, the 183.5. frame professionally bridged (early HDs were a little weak behind the cab, starting in 94 or 95 they double framed them from under the cab to halfway back to the rear axle.)
6.5L 5spd 2wd gloss white of course. Didnt even check the ratio. SLX trim with power windows and locks and big ol west coast mirrors. midship fuel tank.
The high dollar part is a rust free Stahl utility bed with no rust and hardly any damage. big ol 14 or 15 footer.
I should have gotten on it sooner before he swapped engines with his 98, currently in the process actually, so I gotta leave his blown engine behind till he gets the swap done to ensure all sensors make it over. also had to argue with him that he needed to keep the dual t-stat crossover to make it work in his 98. He wanted 2 grand with the running motor in it last year, but same sketchiness with the title, so I might be better off this way in case the title does not come through.
@tanman_2006 how much fun is Oklahoma to get titles? He bought the truck from his cousin who he is no longer on speaking terms with, and an ex girlfriend from OKC has the title and some of his stuff at her place, he is sort of on speaking terms with her. title was never transferred to him, still a signed off title from the cousin. As long as he isnt an idiot, he should be able to talk nice to the ex GF and get the title, but he might be an idiot.
