this was at my store, when I went in to buy groceries
I passed the owner on the way in, a woman with a herding breed dog (blue heeler?) but didn't realize they went with the rig till I was inside
Finally a friend spotted a van in my area that I like and was in my reach...with a little help from the bank
It's a 1988 GMC G2500 Vandura Tra-tech Regatta conversion
It has some rust (mostly surface) on rear quarters, and drip rails, and of course frame, etc, but not bad
there is a rust through...
Yeah, I know, a 454 will drink gas like water, probably, but man would it pull!
shoot, if it was a 350, I'd be on the way with cash in hand

I lean more to #3 despite the owner said it has some busted windows
#1 I haven't contabted because the add shows and tells little, # 1 nice...
I have an opportunity to get a 94 F 150 as a tow vehicle for my Travel Trailer, which weighs in around 4k fully loaded. It's a 300 I-6, automatic, single cab, long bed
My thoughts
The 6 with auto gives a tow rating of 4700, compared to the Ranger's 4000, with the possibility to up the gears to...
OK folks, I didn't make RTR (and cant) but I'd still like to try out the dirtbag if, and when, I ever get any of my vacation time
I've never actually visited any of the state or national parks in my own fool home state, I was wondering if anyone has suggestions
So if you're familiar with Tx...
I've come across a 1976 Chevy 1 ton (so the add says) with a 1983 body, the seller say it's complete aside from wiring, and claims to have the harness, for $500 total cost
I hate wiring, but I've done a bit of it
Downsides: older vehicle might have some issues
Upsides: older vehicle easier to...
So seeing Nadine's post re flying in and renting a van ,I got to thinking, and checking
Driving to Quartzsite will run me maybe $250-300 in gas at a guess
Looking at Cheapo air I could fly round trip to Las Vegas for $100, and the Jucy RV minivans rent for $40 or so, so for 7 days it'd be a bit...
I've looked at several options for attending RTR, and finally settled on doing a 'dirtbag' conversion on my Ranger with cap, inspired by this website

This rather sad looking ford ranger is my starting point
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5829672813.htmlush start? maybe needs a new starter, but then why sell so cheap when a new starter will add value?
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/5829672813.html
straight 6 motor would be tempting if I thought this would pull my RV, but I think 4000 lb might be a bit much to ask on top of the weight of the van itself

Any idea who made it? any idea if the company still exists? If this one wasn't in Washington, with me in texas, I'd be all over it, supposed to fit my truck

so here's how this happened
My landlord and his wife were both in hospital a while back, and since my land is a rent to own deal, I had a bit of a panic; if they both passed, I could be tossed off my land by their heirs
so that led me to the fact that my cabin is, duh, not mobile at all, and my...
so today I posted my scooter on CL in order to get out from under the payment
Immediately I received two communications from fellows who wanted to buy it site unseen, via PayPal
Both of them claimed to be unable to come look at it because of being in the military
One said he was on deployment...
