Half ton 203 having turd. Bet it's got a vatozone tree fiddy crate motor with a bowtie dress up kit on it. :laughing:

Yea but, cheap and easy to do it right. All the shitty work is done already (body, interior, possible short bed conversion)

Under 5 grand you could LS/4L60 2wd with a Ford divorced 205, whatever decent driver drop axle you have laying around.

That's an easy fixer project.

That's where it should be left. C60/70 ride like a brick and even with a turntup 427 tall deck they are slow as shit. That's a generic truck with some visual churching up and a 5th wheel plate bolted in. :homer:

They would probably want 40 or 50k as is. If you gonna spend that might as well spend another 12-15k on a motor with some goodies and a real fawking trans. That thing will weight enough to eat a 4l60 pretty quick with a decent ls.

Agreed, but I think you'd be surprised how light that truck is/would be compared to modern shit.

Also, all my ideas come from my junkyard fifteen hunnid dolla brain, and while I can imagine chrome turbo 8.1/Allison etc etc, my 1st thought is "I got an hp44 laying behind the shop with enough stuff to make it 8 lug... Matt still has that totalled '01 reg. cab with the solid engine and 2wd trans, I wonder if Heath can still get those .gov 14 bolts cheap... I'll have to dig but I know that 205 is somewhere in dad's barn..."

Sounds like the woodsplitter that my brother and I are building, some parts from a splitter he got at an auction with a bent beam, an axle that has been under at least 2 other trailers (GM 6.5" out of something like a 1970s vintage Vega), a cylinder off of my shelf, etc.

Ah well newest thing I own is a 2006. I have mostly owned junk through the years. I had a regular cab 78' regular cab with 350,465, 205, tons and 38.5 and it was ~5400 on the scales if I remember right (its been a decade or so since then). I would throw a guess that it weighs about 6000 lbs maybe a little more.

Depends on the frame they used to build from and actual driveline that is in it. I was thinking 6.0 with some pistons, heads, cam, and nv4500 (4l80 at least). I would want tons because if I have something with tires that big I would want to actually use it.

A 8.1 and 6speed manual would be badass and probably bout the same as the above 6.0 and 5 speed.

Junk pile, or pile of junk? :lmao:
The line is very blurry sometimes.

A junk pile is a bank of things that will be useful, but not today. A pile of junk is what you call it the day you decide you no longer want to build things and are loading it for scrap value.
It’s tense specific.

Or, a junk pile is what you call it, a pile of junk is what your wife calls it :grinpimp:
