Looking to do an ILLINOIS trip.

Postby Mark Nixon » Thu Nov 19, 2009 5:07 pm

Have several people interested in bulky/heavy items in ILLINOIS Indiana, Michigan and Ohio, as well as possibly PA.

This is just a heads up on a possible trip to take place in the next month or so.
Also intersted in heading West to CA in th near future, as well.

I missed that light on the trip, we were looking all over for it and never could find it.

Looking at going to Illinois in the Wisconsin/Illinois boarder area to pick up a truck in the next week.
Can hump parts around if you speak up!
Willing to go as far East as Indiana, if need be.

I edited the title on this one. :D

Trying to get things sorted out for a POSSIBLE trip to Northern Illinois to pick up an engine and possibly a truck.
Wanting to do it THIS WEEKEND!!!
Also have a guy needing rear springs and a guy needing an inner fender.

Would like to move a few more bulky things from my list(s), so don't be shy, ASK!
Shipping could be free.

Hey, pullit!
There's a 3/4 ton one in Lincoln with a 4 cylinder Detriot, reasonably clean body, 4speed, 4wd.
He wants $1500 forth the thing and it runs and drives.

That would take all the fun out of doing a conversion though.

I didn't look it over that close, all I know is it was supposedly out of a bus and it sounded real strange, like it's one of those 2 stroke ones.
It was also LOUD.

Two notable quotes I've heard about 2 stroke detroits. :lol:
