Is this FrankL's old truck?
For a stripped down L with no motor what do you guys think about the price?

Fleeman · 09-09-2009, 05:03 PM

How about you pick one up running for that price?

I was thinking it should be around 5-8,000 with no motor. And if it was Franks L than it was wrecked. It says it has a dent in the door and the fenders need paint.

I have a plan in place with a friend for a roller. Secrets I tell you, everyone will be shocked.

If you are willing to put in a lot of money to get this one rolling again than go for it . I think the price is a bit much.

take the 12k and do something better with it. maybe go twin turbo if your not already. and spend the rest on tires!!!!!

midget · 09-09-2009, 05:14 PM

I think Wilderyzed got his for about 5k with no motor. I don't think it was involved in any accidents it was a repo.

Sounds a little expensive, but this truck has a lot of expensive things already done to it...I guess it is according to your plans with the truck in the future.

Sure does look like Frank's old truck to me. Little on the high side for a roller.

Zak Attack · 09-09-2009, 07:58 PM

Yea its franks old truck. A guy named Jolee bought it and now he is swapping all the stuff into Wade's old red truck.

Can I ask why?

Zak Attack · 09-09-2009, 08:08 PM

Not really sure. He has posted a few videos of him driving it this year to just as fast as frank went....which doesn't really make sense to me why he is selling it, IF it was ok.

Wades truck was just heat treated, not beat up though. From what I could tell that truck took a pretty nasty shot to the front and side (hell we have all seen the video). But Frank bent it all out on a frame straightener. Rodney (Waderacin) may have more incite to why Jolee bought his truck than me. I can see if I can round of the video of it from earlier in the season.

Way to much money. There was a 02 L never wrecked,(perfect body) spun a rod bearing, still ran and drove. He was only asking 5,500.00.
