Damn you Kevin.....actually I found a bitchin 60 series I keep trying to talk the owner into selling me. I've stopped by his house a few times while at work. It's an '86 with only 148k original miles. All original drivetrain that he's completely rebuilt after it sat for a while. OME leafs/shocks all around on 33's with very little body rust or damage at all. And it's a manual trans too. That's what I'm holding out for right now

by **Kevin** Fri Dec 12, 2014 8:03 am

60s are the bomb. If I get bored with the Bastard, I think a 60 will be my next truck.

by **dutchman** Fri Dec 12, 2014 8:22 am

Yeah I'd love to build up a 60!

Well shitballs.....for $100 I could do a hell of a lot with that.....if you buy it then I'll let you put it on the side of my house for a while.

by Ty Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:10 pm

I'm sure if you can find a ride for it you could store it at the farm.

by **offroad_medic** Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:13 pm

If it's not already gone and somebody wants it, I can get a double axle flat bed with a ramp on Friday to take it pretty much wherever on the wasatch front

by Ty Wed Dec 17, 2014 12:01 am

I have no need for it, but if one of you want to pick it up, let me know and I will talk to my dad about storing it at the farm.

You guys know that's just a body and frame, right? No motor/trans/gas tank/axles/anything. And it's not even an especially clean body.

A complete rear axle is going to be about $100, at least $200 for a front (more if it's got high steer), $100 for crappy used springs (much more for good ones), stick with the 22RE setup and you'll spend $300+ for a motor that will need work, you'll probably need a harness to go with it and those aren't cheap, at least $300 for a W56 trans and tcase, $100 or more on driveshafts, $50 for a gas tank but plan on it needing a new fuel pump and bracket, and how much do you want to spend on tires and wheels? Not to bust anyone's bubble but you'll be $2000 into that truck before you can blink, plus all your weekends for six months putting it together... in the meantime you can get a decentish stock 1st gen on KSL for $1000-$1200 if you wait. This shell is not a good idea unless you just need the frame or body and already have good parts to throw on.

Having said all that, I want the quarterpanels, so if somebody buys it to part out, I'll help tear it up. Very Happy

by Ty Wed Dec 17, 2014 5:09 am

Kevin, you should buy for the quarter panels. Then you should build some half doors. You could probably cut the sliders off and sell them for $100. It also looks like it has a heavy duty front leaf hanger you could salvage.

Yeah no. I already have enough projects I'm ignoring, I don't have time, space, or inclination for another one right now. Very Happy

by **offroad_medic** Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:05 am

For the low price of $100 you always have room for another project to abandon :pullhair:

by **Kevin** Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:36 am

Tell you what, why don't I buy it with your $100, and keep it at your house.

by **offroad_medic** Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:41 am

If you hook me up with some fj80 axles, then deal!

by **Kevin** Wed Dec 17, 2014 7:44 am

I'll hook you up with anything you can pay for. Very Happy

I was thinking $100 for all the spare body panels I'd ever need wasn't a bad deal. So, Kevin, you can't have the quarterpanels.

That would be a great start for a custom long travel, V8 powered, first gen. Just sayin'...

by Ty Wed Dec 17, 2014 9:42 am

I've got a nice AMC 360 mated to a t-18 and Dana 20. Hum, I shall have a full width Dana 44 front and rear dana 60. Someone should buy that for me. Any $100 I can round up is already spen .
