One of a kind Ford Courier / Toyota Crawler SoCal

[EarlKann]

Price reduced, motivated to move.  I already think that I could make more parting it out, I just want to avoid the work it would involve.

$7200 including the trailer and all my spare parts .
Spare parts include: tie rod & drag link, knuckles/spindles/hubs/hardware, a CNC cutting brake including all the brake lines and fittings to install it, calipers, starters, spring bushings, stock t-case output, two grills, all kinds of stuff!

$6800 for the truck and the spares, I'll keep the trailer.

$6500 for just the truck.  I'll leave the winch and the ARB compressor that it needs, but keep the race radio and the spare parts.

I will consider trades if I think that they have a realistic resale value equivalent to the prices posted.





Here is the most up to date picture with the cage painted.  I have about 9-cans of color matched paint in spray cans in case a fender or door needs to be replaced in the future.  If you're worried about getting replacement sheet metal, I usually see one or two of these trucks each time I make a junk yard run.  Shouldn't bee that much of a problem.



There are many pictures of my entire build in my photobucket album.

I have a CNC cutting brake and all the lines/fittings to install it, but not in there yet.
Two Afco manual line locks for parking brake.
Modified TG tcase mount/skid plate.
Both front/rear driveshafts just rebuilt with long travel splines.
Front axle is a stock 84/85 housing.

Rear axle is stock IFS housing and shafts.  
V6 5.29 ARB locker
GM Monte Carlo disk brake conversion.

Bilstien 14" shocks.
5 36x13.50x15 IROKS on black steel wheels.  4 are used but good condition, spare is like new.

Kenwood 2-meter "race radio" with magnet mount antennae.
Warn M8000 winch.
It still needs:
ARB compressor mounted/plumbed.  I cracked the tank on the ARB compressor, parts are in to fix it, just have to get it done.
Floor boards finished.  Front has some rust and holes for clearance.  Back seat needs floors fabricated.
Seat belt mounts for back seat.
Winch solenoid pack mounted.  Winch cables hooked up.
Cutting brake installed.  Rear brakes are currently hooked up and drive-able.
I'm sure there may be some other stuff.  Rock lights, some wiring for the wipers to work, etc...

Truck is currently street registered and legal.  

Located in San Jacinto, SoCal.

wow that is beautiful and definitely one of a kind. hats off to you and your work. too bad i dont have the money...

[Rockdad]

  Why man why? I saw the build and all of the work you put into it.

[EarlKann]

Why man why? I saw the build and all of the work you put into it.

While it is street legal, it isn't really a daily driver.  In order to use it as it was designed I would still need to buy a tow rig & camper or an RV.  Even if I had the money for that (which I don't) I'd rather use the money use the money to pay down bills and still have something cool that can be my daily driver.  Looking to get an old hot rod pickup.  Found out at work that they are considering privatizing (I work for the gov) so I need to be prepared in case I loose my job.   

[Rockdad]

Sorry to hear it. That is a really cool truck. I hope someone can give it a good home.

[EarlKann]

Got some bids on ebay, but no sale.  Re-listed it again for three days.  If nothing happens soon I'm going to have to start parting it o :down:ut.

Man nice build .. you bought a 1st gen off me with dual cases out of Fresno ca about 4 years ago well anyways clean rig good luck with sale.

[EarlKann]

Thanks,   Yeah, this one is a little nicer than that 1st gen. 

It ended up getting parted out.  I didn't keep really close track, there may be something left of it in my Courier.
