Back in that time I was driving an R120 with a 4X4 and Diesel conversion. More than a few times, I had persons walk up and ask if I wanted have another. The pricing was from free to a few hundred dollars. Towing was always more money.
Very suddenly and without warning, we were hit with the Covis19 pandemic. After about a year , the IHC pricing on CL jumped up to stupid asking prices.
I am too old to care very much, now. I have few regrets, except for my R120. Giving this R to a trusted friend give me much regret, almost daily.
I have met many persons looking for bits and pieces. About 50% of there people were jerks. I gave away about half of the parts for a promise from the buyer to give what he thought it was worth to a local charity.
I gave my R120 away. I wish I had kept it and made the necessary repairs and upgrades. I bought a 2002 RAM 2500 Diesel with a Cummins. I can say, truthfully, The Cummins drivetrain has preformed perfectly. This RAM has attracted the rust worm. I can truthfully report the repairs and maintenance on the RAM have totaled more half of what it cost me to build the R120, in 1990.
The last important task my R120 did was to bring home a Cummins 24/5.9 to replace the 6.9 V8 in this R.
Life has been a little unkind and forced me to carefully consider my options. I was twice described a circling the drain.
While I am getting better, slowly, it has been a year of which 6 weeks was in rehab. I was forced to consider my options.
