Something of a project! No Heat & No AC inside cab!

What’s been done…
Five or six years ago, the 350 V8 crate engine was brought to life, newly rebuilt ’91 transmission, new gas tank, new brake lines, new truck tires and so much more new small stuff to make sure it was mechanically sound and road safe. I went on a year long road trip. Then Covid hit and she sat for several years. Right now she starts good and strong but is in need of front brake repair work which is happening already. The rear brakes were done by Pep Boys about 5 years ago, only a couple hundred miles driven since then.

And what hasn’t…
The inside is sleep-able but nothing was ever hooked up, not the water, not the sewer, the propane tank regulator was so outdated they wouldn’t touch it, so that and the tank was removed but Not replaced. The water heater had a hole in it, so that’s gone too, Not replaced. I don’t know if the stove works, since the propane was not replaced. There is a bath tub and a toilet but I didn’t used them, since the water & septic system was never hooked up, or even looked at, so I have no idea what condition that system is really in right now. The fridge is there, but not hooked up/or just not working, I honestly don’t remember I think it got a bit cold but never cold enough so I basically used it like an icebox, buying ice for it. I also had a great cooler I also had to buy ice for.

If you are a handy DIY’r….
This rig has a lot of potential. It’s really cool to be able to stand up inside while making a sandwich or whatever. I drove this rig and slept in it but did not live in it, I just lived out of it, sort of like a giant rolling suitcase, lol. Some things worked, like the lights and rooftop AC but I never used them and didn’t ever check them again after the first time. I boondocked 99% of the trip, so didn't use hook ups. There is an awning over the double side doors, that can unroll to create an outdoor space, but one of the poles to hold up one corner of the awning is missing, easy fix I would think but I never used the awning either except to test it once. It has to be manually put back into place afterward, easier with two people.

I have thousands of dollars into it that I Do Not expect to get out of it. What I truly cherish is the memories from the trip I took in it… Most of the photos I have posted here are of the outside. The inside still has my things in it, but I can provide photos in a few days after I figure out where to unload my things. My goal with it was to gut the inside and rebuild it to better suit my needs and an easier flow of use but my life has changed course and it probably won’t happen for a long time now, so…. I hope someone ready for adventure falls in love with her and wants to make a quick purchase.

That’s what I need, because I’m heading back to Alaska, I have to be at work right after labor day and then she’ll just sit for a few more years… when she could be creating an exciting and interesting journey for someone! I will be in the NW corner of Washington state, near Blaine but I could drive it to Seattle or points in between, only if necessary.

I'm asking 5400 OBO, and I'm definitely willing to consider offers. Please email or text if you are truly and seriously interested, I only have time for that and it must be an in-person purchase, cash, and the transfer must be done at the closest DMV. Thank you for your interest… ready to make her yours?
