'99 Workhorse Project

sak00 · 01-18-2010, 11:00 AM

What have I done?

I need another project like I need a hole in the head.

I found this '99 workhorse and couldn't past it up. It has a 350 engine and looks to be complete. The guy said that it ran low on oil and wanted to junk it out. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do with it, yet. I just picked it up and havn't gone through it yet. It has some minor rust in a couple of frame braces, but all in all, it looks pretty soild. The cab has some rust and I'm not sure if it can be fixed without a lot of work. The back box looks pretty soild though.

The wife is going to shake her head "again".

Anyway, I thought it looked pretty cool. Now what do I do??????

You could put the wife to work cooking and start a catering business.
I think that if you can find the glass the cab could be bead blasted and a bright colored ryno paint job would fix it up?

The Wife cook?

Bwahahahahah

I keep going back and forth as to what to do. I need to pull it up in the garage and take a real good look at it. The steering wheel column moves more than a bit so I will have to see what is rotted out if anything. I just parked it for now so I can finish up the Marathon. After that, then I will pull her up and take a good look at her.
The box would make a great beer keg holder with taps on the side. BUT, I will probably take it off and look for a cargo box. The cab is in pretty bad shape. It could probably be fixed, but I will have to see.
I'm still getting over the sticker shock that I have stuck in the Marathon. To even start thinking of a $2300 big block project is too much right now. But that is probably what is going to happen, if its worth rebuilding. I'd love to put a ST cowl on it though. I will keep ya posted.

I love these workhorses

I put the long travel on and a 20hp Honda. Theres tons of room to work with under the seat and box.

Good luck

Looks interesting. I have never seen one with a set up on it quite like that. The possibilities are endless as you know.

Now what do I do??????[/QUOTE]

Give me directions to your place, I will bring the trailer with the winch on it, and your "Now what do I do?" problem will be solved.

I like it!!! Lots of ideas floating thru my twisted little mind right now!
