@@Karmy. not helpful? The guy could have walked away the second the transaction was done, instead they made several runs to town. When you buy old gear you take the chance, if you want a new warranty then pay the new price tag. I have all used vehicles, I've never once expected someone to pay for repairs or give me money back after the fact. Check it out thoroughly and include problems in the negotiation, the seller owes you nothing after the check and title changes hands.

this is true. @@jaydunbar7538

Let's change this around, I once got a clean 1992 sunbird for $500 because of a blown transmission. It turns out a coin had fallen into the center console and jammed the shifter, should I have contacted the seller and paid them more because the vehicle was in better condition then originally thought?

[@bobroberts2371]

EDIT, I just watched the rest of the vid, apparently the actual sellers were not that great Do some research on the name and town. You will find it belonged a small concrete company owner by the name of Billy Lee Schmaltz. He passed Aug 10 2017 at the age of 83. You can pretty much bet this truck was sitting since the mid 90's / 2000''s and was likely sold off only after the widow came to terms with things. Google map the place and you will see a small fleet of trucks slowly sinking onto the ground at the long since closed business.

[@yamahonkawazuki]

interesting find bob. that in itself wouldnt surprise me. and would explain the condition of the truck. @@bobroberts2371

@@aronsingletary where the seller went wrong was his add. He guaranteed you could drive it accross country😂 give taillight warranty

If you have a shop press, take the plate, fold it in half, press it. Then keep folding it and pressing it into as small of a cube that you can.

You can watch Roadkill for free on Motortrend. Roadkill is far from dead.

[@merqury5]

@@the11thnickel thank you, I know. Ok not dead, stagnated by choice then. The rest of KZbin is closing the gap and lesser people bother going off the platform to find roadkill.

[@davidsquall351]

@@merqury5 Roadkill is on TV now.....Many more people see it.

🤔 Remind me to never visit Norway.

@@jreyman Stay out of the major cities and u'll be fine. Plenty of helpfull good people on the outskirts.

Now that's a road trip. Great truck man, soo badass

[@wgiles51]

A 30 year old truck, no matter how it's been kept, is probably going to need fuel tanks. If they are full of rust, they are probably full of pinholes and the rust is all that's keeping them from leaking. 22 year old tires, as we found out, don't hold up too well. I use the three year rule on modern batteries. If the battery is more than three years old, it can go bad at any time and it will be surprising how quickly it goes bad. I've had several quality replacement batteries do this to me in recent years while I had an OEM battery that lasted 11 years, but it was made in the nineties. I wish that I had faith in the new ones.

[@silassmith354]

I don't agree on the point about the gas tanks.

[@wgiles51]

Why not? Thirty years is a lot of condensation getting under the fuel. If there is rust, where did it come from? Sheet metal gas tanks will pinhole very easily once they start to rust. This truck is old enough that that the fuel tank is not sealed and moisture can get in through the vent. I hope that we find out what was in the fuel tanks once they are dropped.

[@brayanmacias6083]

Bill Giles good point and every thing u say is true! I bought a 1979 ford f100 custom cab short bed for 2500$ and it was sitting for 5 years, engine is like new it's a original 302 and I have no problems with the engine but the problem is the tank. This thing left me every were because of all that shit that was in the tank so I would recommend to buy a new tank before u hit the road in something that was sitting for ever

[@lawrencegoralski3029]

Bill Giles when you buy a $20,000 truck you expect more

[@wgiles51]

When you buy a thirty year old truck off of Craigslist, you had better expect a lot less. Overall. I think that it's a pretty good truck and a pretty good deal.

[@GERARDO1343]

Engine overhaul 😎 for the heck of it and machine shop for the heads 👨‍🔧🔧 I like the truck it looks unique and it's a classic truck 🚚

[@turbocateyeS475]

That truck weighs a ton. Itd be smarter and cooler to throw the cummins from the OG ramp truck into this and then rebuild this engine for the smaller truck

[@MullnerFab]

This has been a crazy adventure. I’m so glad I’m watching it all.

[@ebirdsall38]

The two people who thumbs down this video are the sellers haha

[@gabrielmuthler2101]

You guys need to race all the rigs you guys have, like this, the ramp truck, and Harry Tow, maybe Bob and Tony's new land barge

[@JesseJames83]

really surprised you guys made it through the night. Love that you met up with fans and had them on the show! Great episode!

[@maddpeanut6313]

Tires and fuel system flush. not bad for a truck that has been sitting for the last 20 years. At least they came out to help.

[@brianisaacs5457]

Holy cow! You were in my neck of my woods! That tower in Richmond is Keen tower on Eastern Kentucky University's campus.

Go Colonels!!

[@Franksey180]

Welcome Dave to the channel and hope your trips and adventures are a bit warmer than this one was. Great video fellas :)

[@djpmatchbox]

Hey Mike. I never comment but I've followed you since roadkill. First off, I have high respect for the calm you kept during all of this. You are the bigger man. 2nd, I want to build a vette cart like roadkill did but I want to use a 01 or 02. And I want some old k10 with a enclosed 5th wheel trailer to haul it my goal is to do a mid 7's quarter mile. I'll never have as many toys as you, but I hope I can have as much fun as you doing it. Keep it up man. Please keep making videos. We all love it

[@FinnegansGarage]

thanks douglas! Sounds like fun plan you have. good luck with it.

[@stick004]

Douglas Plum, you want to see what it takes to go mid 7’s in a vette cart? Go check out Cletus McFarland’s KZbin channel. He’s already there. And it’s an awesome channel!!

[@toodamsneaky2585]

Honestly you are lucky enough for the seller to return to even help in the first place! Most people wouldn't do this. Just simply because you are buying a used vechile. The moment the deal is made on something like this well.........tuff luck. So props to that guy for spending more time on running back and forward. I wouldn't be surprised If he asked for fuel money too or just the extra time he had to do for giving you a hand.

[@luckautofab4461]

That thing is super clean mike.. be 100% prefect for a duramax swap imo

[@donaldk.macbaird4950]

If it was me I would have gotten a couple of five gallon gas cans to go along with the boat tank.

[@alexanderrodi5374]

I was shocked they diddnt do that..

[@jlkelly304]

You'll have to install some hammocks, bring a heater, and a cooler full of beer for the next road trip... then breaking down won't be so bad anymore.

[@shoominati23]

You could put the best fold down camper in the ceiling of that which will sleep your whole family when the racecar is pulled out

[@ewingfox6459]

Great video - this might be my favorite video of yours to date (other than all the awesome welding tips I have picked up from you!) . Special bonus, guy sitting at the tape mod with a six pack of ALE8one - how you really know you are in KY!. Thanks for keeping it real, and giving me a road trip from hell I can relate to!

[@ihavenocluewhatoput]

I'm watching a full ad. Love you man, you're welcome.

[@FinnegansGarage]

thank you!

[@jtweaver5313]

Super glad that you guys made it back kind of sad that you didn't show my truck dedicated to my mother not everyday that you see a bright pink Toyota bed dancing competition 90s model Truck. R.I.P Billie weaver. Mom.

[@davevid45]

$20,000 tape deck. Ha ha ha. You guys kill. All you needed was one more 5 gallon gas can and you could make the boat gas tank permanent. Fun show. Loved it.

[@jakeblanchard2083]

Best part of Monday. Great job Finn keep it up!
