im buying his dana 60 *****es

 

my parents are selling it... its a big complicated mess right now. over the past 4 years i have been making the mistake of putting money into a vehicle that i dont own... my situation now with insurance and possession of the title has gotten messy and is not working... anyways. my parents are selling it to pay for college and re-fuse to sell it to me because they dont agree with my intentions with it.

 

Thats a heartbreaker...

 

it sucks man. hate it when parents have ya by the *****. if you end up with somthing else i have plent a shop down here to get things moving again

 

Wow that sucks.

My truck is in my parents name as of now, but they would never think of selling it

 

i am the one that wants to sell it... i cant take risk going back to school and leaving the truck here with the chance of them selling it... i have to secure my investment by selling it myself and taking the money... however i am working on a plan right now. to "sell" it to someone my parents dont know and buy it back from them when i can..

 

anyone have any ideas? basically i need to get my truck from my parents name into my name.. but they wont willingly give or sell it to me.. thats the scenario!

 

That sounds like the best bet, just sell it to someone that would be willing to let you buy it back. At least they're being reasonable and letting you sell it yourself.

 

just drug them and have them sign the ownership over to you. done.
that sucks though man, especially after all the work

 

edit: delete

 

ill buy it and give it back for an extra 1k and have it painted lwg before u get it

 

WTF!?!?!?

You're not gonna get enough money out of it for school and another car.

I'd probably go nuts, take it all apart in their driveway, and tell them sell it NOW!!! Or just pay for the school yourself and leave them out of it.

 

ya. times are a little tough right now, but im not gona let this whole situation bring me down. its gona be hard, but i have enough supportive ppl around me that i think i can pull something out and in the end it will work out... the truck isnt done either, and im not one to leave a project unfinished, so i gotta go put some more time and effort into finishing it up...

TO-DO LIST:

- Re-Bob the bed
- Cap front Xmember
- Mudflaps
- Winch Mount
- Leaf clamps
- Paint wheels
- Front D-shaft

 

wow, that does sound like a rough situation. i hope it goes....somewhat well for you in the end.

 

sorry to hear bout the trouble. good luck with everything best of lucks mate! hope stuff gets alright with the parents!

 

So that last week has been crazy! I have been working like mad to get my parents to sell me the truck! My hard work and perseverance has payed off!!! Its ALL MINE now!! and I couldnt be happier, this project I have put so many hours of my hard work into is now under my ownership and I am super stoked!

 

CONGRATS MAN!!!! The Project is back on track!

 

now that its mine, ive gotten back into working on it the past couple of days.. sort of finishing it up!! When i finished the swap the rear end was sitting 2-3 inches lower than the front so Im still trying to work that out..

i welded in my shock hoops and painted the frame with flat black paint (97 cents at home depot)



i also painted up the front and rear axles and any other welds that were exposed.



quick pic with some lights, you can see the butt draggin a little!



then i painted the wheels black and got some properly fitting lug nuts, i wasnt to fond of the chrome at first, but its all they had, however i feel like it puts a nice touch on it?!




i also re-bobbed the bed a little shorter, so in total its about 12 inches shorter!!


then i managed to peel off the rest of the glue/residue left by the old rocker trim plastic pieces. SO here is how it sits now, i took out my overloads in the front to lower the front down, its about where i want it in the front, now i just need to get that back end up another 2 inches or so.

 

If you keep cutting the bed, you wont have to worry about that dent in the drivers side... lol

 

RITE ON!!!

 

i bet you love them 4.10s !

 

congrads! and the truck looks DOPE!

edit, any more pics of the bob?

 

WOW i just read from page 1 to the end!
This is one sick *** truck and you do some good *** fab work!
keep up the good work!

 

Glad it all worked out!!

Now lets see this thing on some rocks!!!

 

looks good man, i kinda dig the slight rake on it...corvallis police are going to HATE you! all good tho
