A month in

mind if i ask how much was the truck wit how many miles on it?

 

that was a bit risky no? especially at 24k. Glad its working out for you though. The more i read on here the more stressed i get about buying a well maintained truck.

 

At $20-30k budget you better plan on dumping a lot of your cash flow into repairs. While you may have better luck than most; everything old needs a little love, n some more than others.

 

i agree, risk is unavoidable. what mpg are you getting?

 

I spent 34 two years ago and only had to put tires on, kingpin and tie rod ends, and a clutch, I'd do it again in a heartbeat but buy a stepdeck instead of a hopper.

 

which truck/motor did you get?

 

97 w9 with e model cat 18 speed and 3.55s. Ain't pretty but it moves down the road at a good clip.
