makya Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 ...The line forms behind Steroid, If he doesn't want it, then I will sell it to whom I think will take good care of her and not drive her into the ground. I believe that this is a legacy vehicle, and should be treated that way. which is why I am selling her. I can't take care of her. she needs work, the engine is worn out and smokes, interior has the usual Datsun wear and tear (dash cracks, no floor mats), and has a non-op right now. I need a Daily driver, and I already have my project truck(75 4x4). I just don't have the $$ or space to give her what she needs. This is not a first come, first serve sale. I need to KNOW that whoever buys this truck will follow through and finish this truck well. Mike has first refusal, then I will contact those interested. $2500 or trade for a DD plus cash Link to comment
Bleach Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 is this a 4 door or double pickup? Link to comment
datsunaholic Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 It's one of those extended cab custom jobs, he'd posted pictures before. Kind of like those extra-extended Toyotas you still see running around. Almost as long as a true 4-door, but not factory. Link to comment

Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Too bad it's gotta go. Im out of room & cash for another project :rolleyes: Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted August 26, 2008 Report Share Posted August 26, 2008 I hope someone can take care of it :) Wish I had a spot for it. :( Link to comment
makya Posted August 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 thanks guys, I wish I didn't need to get rid of it.:( Steroid had to pass on it also, seems like it's bad timing to sell. I originally had plans to make this one a nice tow rig for the 4x4(a Datsun towing a Datsun, how cool would that be!). Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 For a daily driver have you considered goint to an auction? Sometimes you can find a decent deal. That way you can keep the crew cab :D Link to comment
makya Posted October 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 (edited) back up to the top: I ended up with a 1998 chevy 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 diesel for $2800. I couldn't pass it up, and stored the Dually at my sisters' house. BUT:my Brother In Law had a stroke, and they were already behind on their house. So the Dually has to go. It has no motor, I was building another one for it, but cannot finish it for awhile. I can include two L20 blocks, two 4 speed transmissions and one 5 speed napsZ transmission. The tires have less than 10,000 miles on them from Les Schwab, and the truck has No Rust. I don't have much time to sell it,so $1000 obo. I have not put an ad anywhere else, I would rather have it stay here among friends, so I can see what happens to her. :how come I can't edit the first post?

CharlieBucket Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 i always think about how cool it would be to tow around my other datsuns in this truck. pull up to the meet in a datsun dually with 2 more datto's in tow! 2 cool. or go pick up a new one in it! i wish i could get it shipped to GA for less than the asking price.
