They like the rpms as well. My 6.0 burb was like that. It's crazy how long those motors will scream along at redline. Would I like a modern diesel? Hell yeah. Can I touch a decent one for the 8k that truck can be bought for? Nope

I finally broke down and listed some of my parts on CL. I've always avoided doing so because of all the crap I read about people trying to scam and such. Sure enough, my first response to the hard top I posted as follows..

Response: Awesome, my first scammer.

Bye


The only other offer I've gotten so far was some guy wanting to pay $600 for my axles (I would too I guess), or $300 and a 200cc dirtbike. WTF am I going to do with a 200cc dirtbike? Also a lot of people sending a message that they are interested and never answering when I respond. Eventually I guess I'll get things sold and it will be worth it. What a PITA. lol

I've heard the calls and emails that are like send me $50 to claim your prize blah blah blah, and they take your $50. But, how does the above gain them anything other than your name and address? Are they going to come steal your stuff?
