well, I tried to sell it for 750 and never got an offer over 500... no brakes, needs a new bed, heater/blower just barely works, engine smokes like crazy after about 5min., I have to keep a heater on the oil pan or it won't start in the extreme cold.. windshield is cracked, it smells like dead mice inside (probably has something to do with the mice that have died in it) - - it really needs tires..

If you think 2500-3K or what ever you would spend on a different truck would fix all that I say go for it
You could rip the bed off and build a flat bed for it to mount a salter on!
yeah... time for a new truck......

It's not a very accurate test, all depends on how hard they swing it. But they do explain some of the science behind blade making which is pretty cool.

hell, 10 years ago when I bought it, it wouldn't pass inspection... to say it needs a complete overhaul is an understatement - on the plus side - it is a 3/4 ton, 4x4 works, trans is fine and the cab and frame are in good shape...

2nd glass company called. They deal with classic glass install. They are at the same price as the first company but I have a better feeling with this company since I actually talked to the owner who does the work and not a receptionist. Now I have to order the gaskets.
that's good, who stocks quality glass for these cars?

That is a good question, but he told he he could have the glass today. He did mention one company was PGW, and they have a warehouse here in town. I think the other company was PPG.
