Yep, looked at this this afternoon.
short version:
body not that bad, a good bit of rot in the rockers, some good dents. Bubba paint job.
Bubba bumpers, welded not bolted on the frame front and rear
shock absorber bubbafication, custom shock mounts, frankenstein job. Same for the steering dampner. Bubba lift kit, crude steel blocks. Appears to be nuts and bolts missing everywhere under the truck.
the interior was the worst. basically would have to completly ripped out and redone from the firewall to the tailgate. Completely trashed, worst have I seen short of the junkyard.
Electrical nighmare - looks like someone threw a hand grenade between the firewall and the dash, and then tried to patch it up with duct tape and pliers - didn't even have a real ignition, some radio shack keybox bs - new wiring harness a must. Seats, trashed and deat frames bubbafied. Rhino lined interior. tailgate permanently welded shut, top has no windows and no back hatch.
I didn't even want to drive it. the manual tranny shifter and transfer case lever were cobbled together with some kind of rubber innnertube wrap, god knows why or how. Didn't ask. Was to busy trying to think of an excuse to leave.
Yep, for $500, I'd do it and trash everything except for the drivetrain and the basic sheetmetal, and rebuild all of that, sure. But he was firm at $2K.
$2000? No way, not for that. You guys have a better eye than I do.
The search continues, I do like the 71 Jimmy setup through. It is a nice truck.
