Title: Got me a tow rig
Post by: goldswim5 on 08/ 4/10 - 03:07PM
Finally picked one up a few days ago, got it for a great deal from someone we know through wheeling. '95 12v Cummins, 1 ton. I love it already. Just gotta get a trailer now!

Looks good.  Someone has done some updates if that's a 95.  Since a 95 would have chrome missors and NO 3RD door which I see in the pic.  3rd gen wheels look god on there.

Good eye Aaron, for whatever reason it's got a '99 Quad cab on it. (but still a clean title?) But I like it more than the cab it would have stock. And thanks, I do love the wheels on it.

I kinda figured someone had swapped cabs or titles.  It could have been rolled and still be clean if they didn't turn into insurance.  That's where 80% of the info on carfax is sourced. 

Looks good, make sure you get good travel on your throttle cable, downside of 12 valves is they stretch and you don't get to wide open throttle.

That's what I'm thinking too. No other reason for a cab swap that I could think of.

I'll look into the throttle cable, that's the first I've heard about that. It seems like it's getting WOT, but I'll have to check now.
