#20 ... I had to buy it...lol
 
I picked up # 20 tonight. Some will say your crazy cause its got way high miles but its in nice shape and I drove it home...lol 230,000 miles and it has a burnt valve. Anyway here's a couple bad pics...I also picked up a Reznor for 50 bucks from the guy!!!

I have a set of 04 heads sitting around, I'll be putting those on then fixing other minor stuff..air bag light, cel...

A Reznor is a commercial type natural gas heater. This type mounts to the ceiling to free up floor space. No more torpedo heater and carrying kerosene!!!

Looks like the truck is in good shape overall. You may have your work cut out for ya on this one.

Yeah I know I have some work to do but its better than being a couch potato...lol I think I'm going to start by doing a compression test and replacing the cats so the cel will stop blinking and then see if I have any codes. I'm pretty sure its a burnt valve causing the miss so I'll probably be doing a head swap. Other than that I have an air bag light and a missing armrest lid, no dome light and maybe a little touch up work to do.

Its pretty simple, I make money! I usually double and sometimes triple my investment if you don't figure in the labor...
