Just had a thought


Camino LS6

Recommended Posts

At this point, I'd guess that I have about 6 or 7k in the truck. I expect to have to sell it at a loss as is.

Finished, I might come closer to breaking even but still lose on the total.

Would you really want a 1 ton crew cab 4x4?

To replace an Aura?

I need to sell it , but that just seems a bit much for a DD, no?

Yeah, I realized shortly after sending my post that it was a 1-ton crew cab with an 8" bed. + dual tanks :mind-blowing:

Yeah, that wouldn't make much sence as a daily driver. Sorry camino!!

Engine hoist won't lift it high enough ??

Can you lift the bed and block it up a foot or so, but leave it over the

frame and still have room to access the tanks? 12" wide concrete blocks on end on the rails, wrap the bed/block/frame tight w/ tie downs, leave the hoist on the tailgate end for extra support...

I considered that option, but my faith in the engine hoist isn't real high. I'm going to go the chainfall and tie-down route. I'll set it up, lift the bed just enough, and roll the truck out from under. I may leave the bed suspended in midair and just back the truck back under it when I'm done.
