I'm definitely not keeping it.
It has 2 too little lug nuts per wheel. Haha I'm just doing what any of us would do to help out a fellow rodder or truck guy.
Yeah, I don't understand why he even called the same broker? Apparently they are slim pickins up in NY? I told him he could call reliable or a known professional like that to do the job. It might cost a little more but he has already got a damaged truck he has $7900 in. $5500 to buy it, $1500 to haul it the first time, and $900 to get it out of the tow company's place.
I put some transmission fluid in it and a different battery in it this morning and got it off my trailer. I forgot I have a pesky heavy cummins in the way along with some other crap from my Dad and brothers that are blocking the south bay of the shop. I'm going to get it in tonight before we have any storms. I don't want anything to happen to it while I have it. I need to pull the plugs and valve covers. I do not believe the tow people pulled the plugs before they started the engine. The engine runs, but misses and will pop through the carb. My Dad told me this morning that it could have bent push rods from hydraulic-ing when they cranked it over. He used to be a tow truck driver in the late 60's-early 80's. He said it happened all the time. I told the owner I will try to get it running better because it will be cheaper for him to get a bid if it will pull it's self on to a trailer.Ryan

Yep. It’s pretty sad.
