So, as it sits I kinda have three of these Turbo Regals, my 1970 GS455, a couple obs suburbans and we purchased a 2018 Ram CTD 2500 cc. This was an approved purchase and we traded off the 2003 K2500 and her 2000 Malibu with the trans starting to slip. She was on board and doesn't need a car but I guess now she is having second thoughts and "wants" a car. She quit her job and keeps our grand daughter four days a week and I think that is great so the grand daughter doesn't need to go to some strangers at some day care.
Maybe too many vehicles that don't run and drive I guess, so the next big acquisition will be some kind of daily driver for her to also sit in the driveway as she doesn't go anywhere. First world problems for sure.
Back to the acquisition.
We loaded up on sat am. Son came over to come along and a couple of my car buddies came also. One has a real nice trailer with a winch. This was a welcome addition. He actually was the one who came with to get the Kansas roller also.
This is the Ram we bought. Drives like a dream compared to the one we traded and it was no slouch. Gets 16 mpg hand calculated and 19 mpg if you believe the dash thing. Pulls a trailer like no bodies business.
Came with a set of wheels with center caps.
The chassis. It was zip tied to the wall. Not sure why people take things apart. I believe the guy who took it apart was going to LS swap the car and lost interest. According to the seller/building owner the guy pretty much skipped town on him.
Body on the stack of pallets. Seller was nice enough to let us use his pallet jack and two post lift to unite this body with my rolling chassis. This was a big help.
We brought the body over and got it lined up and lifted up with the lift.
Took a couple tries to get it lined up and picked up.
Rolled the chassis in.
