Sending My Old Truck to the Scrapers…in Style

[Johnathan]

My truck is out of my price range to repair after my lil collision, ive tried blowing it up but it didn’t work.
https://youtu.be/oI8aWQPJAW8 <- proof i tried now this time im going to throw some money at it about $1,500 and see if i can blow it with a 150 wet shot nitrous. Heres my problem: will a 150 wetshot be enough? Q: why don't you fix it?? A: its 100% shot, the whole front end needs rebuilt, upper and lower control arms, steering rack, brakes and brake hose need replaced, needs a new tranny, shocks at all 4 points. heres the kicker, the frame is bent, has been since 2013 and as of aug 7 2016 the front is moved in, front fender is bent down, the hood is bent up, the whole body line is off by 1cm so the doors don't close right. also the bumber is moved in to where it bent a part of the support for the hood. so if i wanted to fix it id be better off buying a new truck, fixing the frame and body aliment alone is a price of a newer car. Q: if its so crappy why waste your money? A: its been in the family for about 20 years. im 27 as you can guess i grew up in the thing so it hold value to me. so sending it to the scrap in working order knowing that if i just bought a crap 2nd car i could fix it. thing is i did...and that fail miserably...bought a chevy metro for 1000 and blew the brake lines day 1. so yeah...as a broke student that isn't going to work out.

Part it out. Those dodges are pretty popular in some areas. You could pull the engine etc.

its been ran dry on oil 3 times by my old man who didn’t bother trying to maintain it. breaks my heart knowing that that old ass abused the thing and bitched when it didn’t work. ive changed the oil ran good gas through it with some fuel injector cleaner and the damn thing runs like a top now…kinda…has a ticking noise like one of the lifters is outa wack.

Sounds like the old truck just won’t die. Best of luck!
