Finally snapped a couple pics of my $750 Expy. Runs and drives great!








So far I have done these things to it -
Heater core
Blend door
Egr valve
Egr pressure sensor
Major interior cleaning
Mastercraft tires
Alignment
stripped out sub and amp and rewired stereo system
Coolant flush
Oil and filter

What was done before I got it -
Reman Transfer case a couple months ago
Battery
Tranny flush
Plugs and wires
Ball joints
Both exhaust manifolds replaced
New brakes all around
Flushed brake fluid system
Fuel system clean
New brake lines
New starter

you're not serious are you? Did you pick that up for $750? I've spent $750 just on ball joints...how did you get a whole rest of the truck with that?

Hell of a deal. I thought I did good on mine. Just having the plugs and wires done is worth 750.

Yep dead serious. It's got 130,000 on it but its tight, no rattles, and drives great now that it's lined up with new tires. The seller had been sinking money in it left and right and since he does not do anything himself it cost him big time. He paid $1600 just for the exhaust manifolds and 4 broken bolts. I have the receipts to prove it all.

He was looking at $800 for the heater core, check engine light was on (egr), tires, alignment, etc. He's strapped for cash so that must have seemed like a mountain to climb and he advertised it for $750 just to get rid of it. I didn't even try to haggle.

I am putting a snow plow on it next week. I was plowing with an Explorer but it rotted out from under me. lol This will push snow a little better.

WOW...750.00 even if you double that in investments into it, you still got a great deal and a nice truck.... that's called being in the right place, at the right time and being first inline.... kudos to you!

What was wrong with the EXPY when you bought it and where did you buy it from?

nice find! Get that rust spot on the rear fender sanded out and painted before it gets beyond repair.
