    The guy with the truck I posted above refused to let me do anything other than drive it up and down his little road. I drove 150 miles one way to go see it so that’s not gonna happen.

    Can I get some thoughts on this one?

    Brand new rebuild, he’ll let me put it on a dyno too. It’s pretty much what I’ve been looking for if everything checks out. What can I expect with dyno results on a fresh rebuild? Will that throw off the results or anything?

    Looks like a clean truck!! More money than I would ever spend for one that old, but with it having a hood on the front it’s probably worth it. It’s amazing how much money a few extra feet of hood can be worth. If it checks out good and that’s what you want go for it. It’s nice to drive something you like.

    I didn’t see attached paper work but make sure you call and verify the engine s/n, that’s tall money for an 07 truck if it’s a rattle can and printer inframe

    an mbn cat is about 25-30k for an inframe

    This is what they show. I’ve also called the shop and they verified that they did it and it was using OEM parts. I will also be asking them for an invoice verifying that because the one shown just shows “overhaul kit”. No specifics. I won’t be purchasing it unless they can show proof that this truck was done.

    The Rigdig report shows one federally reported, tow away accident. Any advice on finding more details on that?
