If I was close and could drive over and get it I would. he is priced close in the neighborhood of reality, but this is too far away from me.

I have put well over $4500 "trying to figure" out what this "project" needed.

One from a local distributor "said" they knew what to do with it (spent 2 grand w/ them and they still didn't fix it right), and I just spent another $1480 @ a local truck repair shop, where they put 10 hours fixing the other people's dumb shit work. That also included a new solenoid (300 bucks), plus the amounts of labor it took to put the pto and driveshaft back on, plus some of the wiring on the panel.

The diesel truck itself runs fine, I'm only trying to get what I paid for this truck, and cut my losses.

I had it for sale before, but I took it out because I took it to the truck repair shop "hoping" they would fix it, after the $1500 plus them telling it'll be another $700-1200 to rebuild/replace the pto, I deciced I no longer wanted to put more cash into this truck.

I have nothing to hide, if I was more mechanically inclined I would've had this done a long time ago.

I have 3 others trucks, plus personal vehicles.

The diesel will drive anywhere or there are companies that will transport the truck like www.uship.com I have no clue what they would charge.

just a thought..but if the UD is in great shape and the PTO is already disconnected....then why not put a slide in inside it and make a good box truck unit out of it......you could probably make a few grand parting out the vortex parts............

I know of a guy in Dallas area that will buy anything......

Everyone wants everything for nothing these days.

The idea of removing and putting a slide in has been thought already, having 2 other truckmounts and vans is already enough vehicles for me.

There are costs to remove and install everything, etc.

I already have 2 truckmounts in trucks that are working.
