pope_face Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 Would anyone be interested in splitting a truck with me for parts? I'd like to get an engine out of a 620 or something, but I have no use for the actual truck... I'm aiming at picking one up in Washington somewhere because it'd be cheaper than getting one here, so I'd prefer to split it with someone down there, as it'd be too much of a hassle to bring it back across the border...

kiznook Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 have you tried asking around over on the510realm.com for an engine, theres pleanty of datto guys near you, you should be able to find something Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 5, 2007 Report Share Posted November 5, 2007 if you find a super clean 1978-79 620 then I might be interested in the body. Link to comment
pope_face Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kiznook: Thanks, I'll check out the site and see what they say... Bleach: I'll keep my eyes open for one... How clean is super clean, and how much would it be worth to you? If we find one I'll split the cost with you, but I'm aiming to spend less than $300 on the engine... It seems that's what the average L-series goes for down there... Link to comment

Super clean would be a straight body (almost no dings) with original faded paint. Better paint jobs with one dent or a corner with some body damage may be acceptable too. If its a 1978-79 then the condition of the body is my main concern. Interrior can be changed easily. That 1979 truck in Portland is acceptable and I would pay $500 for the truck minus the engine.

pope_face Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Kiznook: Thanks for the link... Bleach: I emailed the guy to find out which engine he has in it... I'll let you know what he says. If this pans out, would you be willing to pick up the truck on your own, and then have me come down and pull the engine once you get it back? Link to comment
Bleach Posted November 6, 2007 Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 now that I think this through, I don't have a way to pick it up way down in Portland. I also have a place to park it on the street but not a place to pull the engine. I have no access to a full size truck for towing either. Link to comment
pope_face Posted November 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2007 Yeah that usually ends up being a bit of an issue, doesn't it? =P Oh well, I may have a couple leads on an engine anyways, so hopefully something will pan out... Link to comment
