Cost to repair this truck?

[greenthunder7.3]

if your not interested in the red one anymore would you give me the guys number by chance? or did you find the ad on craigslist? i have all the aprts to fix it minus the hood front bumper and the rocker panel

 

[B.Warning]

YIKES! glad I asked you all first! lol

I'd love a reg cab 7.3, just I have a low budget of about 5k or under at the moment. Only ones I've really found good to go in that price range were 2wd and over 300k miles.

The less of a project it was the better, I don't have a lot of mechanic experience haha

My brother has a 01 rclb he wants $7500 for. 190k miles but a solid runner and decent looker. It cold use some appearance work as it's been a work truck it's whole life. I know it's a little out of your price range but it's ready to go also.

says it has a leak from the oil cooler near where the filter goes in. Said the best offer he has gotten was 4200

Avoid an early 99. More trouble than its worth.

ok thanks. how do i tell if its early or late 99?

I can't remember all the ways but the big one for me is the little powerstroke v8 badge on the fender. There are differences under the hood and other things as well that just make the truck all around a pain to deal with. Its like a bastardized OBS/SD half breed.

haha okay thanks for the heads up! I appreciate it

No problem. What are you looking for? I can keep my eye out for you around here if you want.

Just trying to find a cheap reg cab diesel. don't care if its a duramax or cummins just want a little diesel to haul things around

God I wish my reg cab was 4 wheel drive. Leveling kit and 33's on 20's would look frickin awesome. Dammit!

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

yep that's what I plan to do, except may stay stock height if I can

 

[Jason]

My favorite height for my ccsb was stock front springs, no rear block and 305/60/18's. Super useable and still fit into any garage no worries. Looked great!

opinions? I offered 3 he came back w/ 3600

With tgat much rust under the hood, I bet the bottom is solid rust.

 

[sirnunya]

Its probably covered in rust if used as plow truck

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

hah that's why I ask you all. You all catch everything!

Thanks fellas

Looks like it is but hard to tell without seeing the motor bay or door sticker

 

[O2ShootTheJ]

i asked him and he said it was. If the only real negative to a e-99 is that they can be tough to get performance parts for that'd be fine with me. I don't want a powerhouse, I just want something that sounds good and has decent power to be a DD/tow. Seems like a pretty decent price on that truck to me?
