testing waters cause i hate to do it..

ok here lately i have been gettin to the point were i have lost interest in my truck..there is still plenty of work to be done on it but here is a run down of what is done at the current moment.. the truck is an 89 2200 regular cab gauge reads 115xxx i was told it has a rebuilt motor i dont know.. anyway it has an 8 inch stepnotch bed cut across shaved tailgate handle tag box in the gate as well.. the cutouts where the bumper goes through have been covered and welded up, and the center section has been cut out flattened and welded back in.. The passenger door and mirror have both been shaved and still need a little bodywork on the handle part the lock is shaved too.. mirror needs welds grinded down.. the driver fender needs replaced but its there, has pretty much brand new weber on it on has maybe half mile to a mile driven on itright .. it needs the exuast redone from precat back.. a couple of dash pieces have been taken out smoothed and painted. Its an automatic i have been told they are a little harder to come by.. it has 3 inch belltech blocks out back two center leafs have been taken out. torsions are out but i have them and just need to be put back in.... the cornere lights are not in at the moment but not best shape. the front wells have been cut out and i started puttin trailer fenders in but only got the passengerside tacked in and started shaving the inner fender wall.... I will post up pics shortly... the interior is decent headrest have been taken off both seats they are factory buckets...like i said i am starting to loose interest in it i have about 1400-1600 into it right now. tires are all in good shape also. I really want an extended cab mazda because i am 6' 2" so its not that easy for me...cash or trades will be considered. I am in Texas in the DFW area, I CAN NOT Deliver or meet half way.. right now it is not running but it does run the harness needs moved up or cut out. I have cables also to relocate the battery I just havent done it yet. I have a good battery for it also.. The truck is in good shape it needs minor body work and can be done in a day or so...there is no rust eating through anywhere that i have seen.. let me know what you have.. like i said I am just testing the waters and if the right offer is made it will be gone.... I do have a title on it also. sorry for such a long post just wanted to be honest and upfront from te get go.. let me know what you think and i will be pposting pics later tonight.

lets see some pics

whats the ball park price your looking for?

well its hard to say.. i mean these arent rare trucks but i have about 14-1600 into it so I would like that rangle but i will take offers but no low balling me please i dont have to sell it and dont want to really but it just seems like i dont have the money to finish it or get it to the point that i want it.... For the right offer or the right trade i will let it go.. i would much rather have an extended cab though... I really love these trucks and want another one as well.. I just dont know what i wanna do yet.. but anyway like i said the right offer will take it...

i dont have the money to bag mine yet either but im keepin it. these things take some time. be patient and build it as you can. if you sell you are going to regret it. if you keep selling vehicles because you cant build like you want then you will always have something that you would like to customize. if you save the money on tags and taxes and insurance costs from switching you will be ablet to do one like you want it. just my opinion though man. something to think about

every time i sell my "b", i only end up buying another.

bro, just keep looking at your avatar and stay motivated. i read somewhere once that it takes the average build 7 yrs to complete. i have had my 89 for like 3 years now and it still isn't bagged. if i were you i would just keep it and get it running good. you got a weber for it didn't you? if so, you can't be very far from having it running good. it doesn't take much for these things to run good. just my opinion bro. later.

I really wanted an extended cab when i bought this one. I jumped too fast because it was a couple of houses down from me and i knew the owner.. i had a 2600i extended cab before this but sold it to my brother who in turn totalled it... I would much rather have another extended cab so i can have a little more room.. plus this is an auto and i am not liking it to much cause it makes it slower

do a 5-speed swap on it. mine was an auto and now its a 5-speed. i didnt do the swap though was done before i got the truck. and i have an excab and love it because i have room for subs but i would love to have a single cab, just seem more mini to me which i like. i think its just a mind thing though. im gonna build mine and then a single cab as well. do what you feel you need to do

i have everything that you will need for the 5 spd swap bro. i am putting a 4.3 in mine so come grab it all. i used to like the ext cabs more until i got my reg cab. i absolutely love the reg cabs more now for some reason. let me know man.

what do you want on the tranny for that 5 speed?? hell I need a trailer so I can get my exuast done... once i get it done if you are gonna be up here let me know maybe you can help me time it and adjust the carb... let me know, I will buy you lunch or some beer or something homie..

i like my std cabs...i have a bunch of them..

get some gas money together, bring a case of beer and lets pull everything off you will need and it's yours. when i bought the truck it sat up for 5 yrs so i can't guarantee anything. the eng is still bolted up to it so it should still be good. let me know man.

nows that what im talkin about. why cant i have any giving people live near me.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ no doubt!!

well he is like an hour and a half from me but its not a big deal. he has come up to help me a couple different times actually.. I found out i have the money to get the exuast done like i needed,now just need a trailer.. Also I have found out that i have had better luck with meeting cool people in the minitruck scene than in the tuner scene...Like i said I am only testing the waters but I think I am gonna go ahead and keep it.I needed some support from my fellow minitruck brothers,my wife keeps telling me not to sell it also. I just need a little more help with this build than I am getting, I think what the real problem is I jumped in ovder my head got in way to deep and now I am trying to catch up with where I thought I should be.. Thanks guys and Ryan thanks bro I will let you know about getting down there cause I am gonna need something other than my jeep to come down there...

thats what being a minitrucker is all about!! helping each other out!!! its nothing like the import scene, where its im faster than you, or i can run 10 sceonds. minitruckers help each other out in any way we can. thats why i im glad to be a minitrucker

KEEP IT.
Minitruckers are way cooler than tuners..
been there.
don't get me wrong though... there are cool people with tuners... but for every one cool tuner.. there is prolly 5 cool minitruckers.

exactly!!!

mins rule!!!!

ok guys hate to do it but the truck actually is for sale this time. I have to sell it so I can move in about a month or so, I need about 2 grand to be able to move but need about another 900 to 1000 to move. for the right price all the air parts will go if not then the only thing that goes is the front bag brackets and they are not installed but still brand new. let me know if anyone wants it.. There is a front bumper on it again and there is another bumper that will go with it.. let me know who wants it cause it has to go unless someone wants to loan me a grand until tax time but I know I wont be able to find anyone.. thanks again guys

Bump!!!! 900 takes it along with brand new front bag brackets from SD.com
