picked up an 03 regular cab last night thats got some body damage down the passenger side. original owner, guy bought it with 12 miles on it and it now has 267k, completely stock.


it runs/ drives, hazes a bit at idle but seems fine otherwise. It has 4 new tires, and new transfer case.

the insurance company totaled it saying it had a bent frame right behind the passenger front wheel, they have some yellow crayon on the frame right where the rear mount is for the upper control arm but looking it over closely and comparing it to my truck i cant find any damage, if there is any it is so minor you cant see it.

what it needs:

rad support, fender, door, bedside, bumper, headlight/ tailight

the grille is fine, i have the stock bumper off my 02 from denali swap, also have my stock headlights and tailights.

so hoping for a few hundred in used body parts and an alignment i can have it on the road.

and the best part is.... paid $2800 for it

not sure what i'll do with it yet, definitely keeping it, i'd love to do a 1/2 ton reg cab short bed but we'll see what time / $ allows next spring/ summer, just going to get it road worthy for the winter and keep some of the salt off my 02.

and i was given a bully dog power pup for lb7 the other day so might as well put that to use on this truck.

if anyone has some body parts laying around let me know

There is a thread over on CompD with a guy selling off the complete front sheet metal and both bedsides (long bed) from an 01. I'm hoping to buy the driver's side front fender but have at the rest...

Are you planning on picking up a used cab shell and transferring the interior or what is the plan of attack? Should be a easy fix though. Good steal

the cab is fixable, just dented, door still shuts fine and body lines line up still, easier to fix than swap cabs

So your the one who bought my truck:mad: J/K ;) Were are you located? I am almost certain thats the REG cab I just seen on craigslist for 3k. I saved the link because I was in a hurry but the next day when I went to open it up to call, it said the listing was deleted by the seller.. I figured that would make a great platform for a dedicated 1/4 mile truck.. Regardless you got a good deal and congrats on the new Ride/Project:thumb:

I cant wait to see what he does with it. :cool:

I have been contemplating the same idea;) But then on the other hand it would be nice to have a REG cab with a built motor for drag racing and my heavy a$$ CC with a built motor for pulling:D I just need to hit the lotto to make it all happen... BTW I just bought a 01 PowerJoke to beat through the winter:eek::eek:
