I have been kicking around the thought of backing off the abuse on my truck and finding a builer. Well I found the deal of a lifetime today and got a truck bought. I am hoping to have this turned into one bad dmax over the winter starting next week. Check out my find here: http://quadcities.craigslist.org/cto/2537855740.html

Updated with pictures I took of the email pictures I got. Should clean up nice

I see they are starting to come down in prices for the 01/02 gmc. I paid about the same price for the one that i bought last month only difference was mine was a crew cab!

Its mine

Money has been exchanged for the truck now the only pain in the ass part is the guy lives 45 minutes from me but the truck is 4 hours away where it broke down sitting in a dealer lot. I am planning on going after it sunday morning. One other down fall is that it is a lb7 :woott:

Which dealer is it at Eric?

Its at Stalker Chevrolet in Creston, IA A private guy owned it and it broke down on him going down the road and was towed there. The techs determined a head gasket failure and the owner said he had to add antifrezze ever since he hit a deer due to hole in radiator that was missed when the front end was repaired. The guy didnt want to put the money into it that the dealer said it needed so he put it up forsale. I found it to build rather than pulling a 50k mile engine out of mine to build. I thought why not find a builder and I struck this deal the first time I started looking.
