Truck for sale

[348Winchester]

Post up a picture of that beaut. I gave my oldest son my 77' to be his first truck. He turns 15 in 4 days so he's already about to wear me out with LMC catalog orders

I do not have a cell phone so I'll have to get my daughter to do it.

Asterisks over the shortened word for transmission. Wtf

One of our members who loves the Trannies must have filed a complaint.

I have a 79 with the inline six. That ol' 300 is one of the greatest engines ever built. My 79 is fully restored. I have maybe $12-14K in it.

My old 86 is being restored right now. It's got the 300 in it and they are tough old engines. Getting tires,wheels, and a 2.5 " lift kit on it this week.

Mine too. I don't know what gear ratio the Ox has but it's looooooowwwwwww. Its top speed is about 65 mph and that's pushing it. In low range 4wd 1st gear it is slow but pulls hard.

FWIW, I don't think the shackle is a rust issue based on the pic. What looks like heavy rust is flaking undercoat. Replacement shackle kit is less than 50 bucks. Sounds like it may have been overloaded causing the broke shackle and transmission. Don't throw in the towel too quickly and get a new mechanic. That could be a sweet truck.

That was my thought also, thinking it's just that "rubberish" coating cause the bed cross supports look good and the frame in that area looks "good"

100% correct.

Get one of the lowering shackle kits and turn it into a "Squatter" like @rem270 did to his truck.
