    Colorado has a large hole in the bottom of the frame near the driver side rear wheel where the frame begins to bend up. Paper on window at auction listed it to have a “rusted frame” I was there and checked it out myself

    God loves us all so much that he gave his perfect son to die for our sins and raised him from the grave to defeat death. Through faith in JESUS we can be saved and reconciled to GOD. please give your lives to him, he loves you, is coming back soon, and really wants to take us all with him🙏♥️

    I work for a park dept, it never would get rid of anything that nice,everything is drove until it will not move. My truck was a 25 yr old sqarebody and just recently died and sent to auction.( only brought 600). I like it when the auctioneer rides around in a "popemobile"............Thanks for posting , your videos were missed for the two month hiatus..............

    Check the ac fuse as well before getting any freon for recharging. Also like a few others have said, the thermostat housing looks possibly wet near the base if the neck. Could be a hairline crack or could be nothing. On the fullsize. For the Colorado, make sure to get a new valve cover gasket before pulling the cover off to check the timing chain slack. Also fuse check that one too for ac issues before going deeper for compressor replacements or recharging. Either way, good snags.

    It's good that there's no auction fees! We have 10-20% fees in California, but the rust you guys have to deal with is brutal. I just saw a 1998 f250 4x4 with 40k miles looked brand new underneath. Sold for $3400 Sold

    I used to go to the state auction out by me plus my uncle worked for the state and was a top supervisor so his Ford pickup and Ford Taurus we're in great condition. The only bad thing is that they used to auction all the vehicles at once and that allows you to get a deal and eventually they smartened up and started to limit the amount of vehicles which got people to get out of control with bidding which turn everything into bidding wars which ruined everything. But you can get some really nice vehicles that been maintained.

    What was your winning bid for the Colorado? I went to a large Ritchie auction in Springfield Ohio for all sizes of semi's, equipment and fleet trucks a couple of years ago and 2500 4x4 Chevy's were all selling for 12 to 16 thousand each. They sold probably 80 of them that day. 80% of them were sold from on phone buyer at the auction. I was surprised by the prices. I spent a day wandering around the lots before the auction. These trucks were in rough condition, many with 4x4 drive issues. I only would of bid on about 15 of the 80 pickup's, and vans. I only brought 12 thousand cash. At state auctions I can always pick up something good for under 12 thousand. How much higher in price is Ritchie auctions vs State ones.
