SOLD in less than one day. had many, many phone calls. actually had one guy offer me $250. more if i'd sell to him. sorry, i had already taken a deposit from another fellow. i bought the trac last year at a bankruptcy auction, so was able to let it go for this price. good truck, just decided...

i have really enjoyed the trac, but have found a 2000 lightning pickup i'd like to buy. i have a very low mileage first gen (93) lightning and have always wanted a second gen. one has come up near k.c. that i consider a great buy, but to have a place inside for it, i need to sell the trac. it...

jimmy, checked the swmoto site for my front tire, 150/80/16. $116.95 and with the $14.00 shipping, about $4 bucks difference for what i can buy local....$121. plus, if i buy at my local shop, they always give me a break on the mounting and balance.....just sayin'. dutch

i've bought a few tires off ebay, but lately i've been shopping for a new tire for my nomad, and haven't found much difference in prices...maybe 5-10 bucks. my local shop will usually match ebay prices if i make a copy of the page and take it to them. dutch

dreman, well, i am getting up there...almost 65, but my dad bought and sold cars all his life so i was raised around all sorts of automobiles. the blue flame name just jumped out at me as a part of chevrolet history. dutch

and i just came back from a 360 mile ride today. glad i involved in this one....did almost hit an amish buggy though. took some two lane blacktop that's shared with the amish. dutch

beautiful blue color, BUT, first thing i think of when i hear "blue flame" is chevrolet. any other old timers remember the "blue flame six cylinder" chevy engine? dutch

email him and tell him you have a friend in the state/city where the car is and he'll pick it up and pay cash....you'll never hear from him again!! i see this all the time on cl. dutch

yeah, it's a chevy, but thought some of you might have some friends looking for a nice little custom pickup. pics in "my library" and i can email any others you might like to see. it runs a built 400 small block(awesome sound), 400 turbo, and 12 bolt rear. other features are: cold a/c, ps, pb...

glad you made it home o.k. with the frig standing up like that. a few years ago, i met a pickup coming toward me hauling a frig about like yours. just as we were about to pass each other, the top door (it wasn't a side by side) came open, the wind caught it and lifted the frig straight up and...

a/c, color tv, hell, i grew up on a farm and we didn't even have running water 'til about 1950!! and yes, i did walk a mile to school my first year and a mile home. greatest time of my life!! dutch

don't know what fords problem is with those seat mounts rusting, but i got my moms '96 taurus a couple years ago and they bought it new and was always garaged and they were rusted. my '02 ST's are rusted and the '97 explorer limited i had before the trac was rusted. if i hadn't known all these...

my '02 did this last weekend while i was on a trip. had it down when it started raining and when i went to roll it up, it would go up about 3/4 of the way and then back down. i tried it a number of times, but it would never go up and stay. finally just left it down 'til i got home and after i...
