Duds
Hey Terry and Robin,
My dud was a Cdn M-37 i picked up at New Year's Eve exactly a year ago....The seller wanted too much money for that pile of rust ( $2K ) . I dickered while offering him a few beers ( it was the season .. ) and he came down to $ 1800. It was in the back of a barn and snowed in.i hired a friend who came with his small excavator, trailer and Super Duty 350 Ford truck. It ended costing me more than $500 to get it out of the field on New Year's day.
When i realised what i had done, it needed a distributor, wiring harness, alternator , flashers , lights and radiator.When that was i paid for and the truck was running , i noticed the gas tank was leaking...
When it all came to $5K i stopped the project because the floors and doors still had holes through them and i could't see the end of it.I sold it in July for what i initialy paid for it ! Good riddance.
Robert
