Re: Here we go again
 

It runs pretty awesome. It has a recently rebuilt .030 over 350 that's pretty strong. I drove it up the road a bit and had no problems.

SIR, you don't think that's the one, huh? I can't argue that the rockers are pretty rusty underneath.

Keep the opinions coming, for and against. I haven't decided one way or another yet.

Re: Here we go again
 

if it is a good runner, it should be worth $2500 around here, of course some would ask $4000
from what i see you can get panels to fix all the rust........

Re: Here we go again
 

I am going to have to agree with SIR here. I think 400.00 would be pushing it here. There isn't anything usable. Its all rusty. Keep looking. I looked at two yesterday that was a package deal. One SWB & one LWB that was in about the same shape as your looking at 300.00 for both. Only the LWB had a 230 6 with a 4-speed. That was a way better deal than what you are looking at.

Look at this.

Re: Here we go again
 

Well, I slept on it. I think I'm going to pass.

I'm a little burned out on my Chevelle because the time/money/whatever to really proceed on it. This one's going to require pretty much the same time/money/whatever.

Thanks for the help, fellas. I'm 0 for 2 so far.

Grilles get changed, hoods get changed, tailgates get changed, but very rarely does the dashboard get changed. This is the thing to look for without getting under vehicle.Gmc used a single hump over instrument panel while dash was flat on 64-66 chevys.

Re: Here we go again
 

Good choice, I would definately pass. It looks like a rusty pieced together primer bomb. I bet the rear axle and leaf springs were pirated out of another vehicle ( noticed parking brake cable disconnected).

Re: Here we go again
 

man, i wish i could find a truck like that around here for $500
you can't hardly touch a basket case for under $1000.
or if you find a runner under a grand every panel on it is beat to piss, not to mention all the rust

Re: Here we go again
 

Yeah sucks too...
What kind of beater are you looking for dude?

Re: Here we go again
 

who me? you know me.....always looking :lol:

Re: Here we go again
 

Ya you :lol:

Yeah same here, its usually looky but dont touch ;)

Re: Here we go again
 

:lol:

Re: Here we go again
 

I forgot the obvious, a Chevy cab switch on a GMC frame. This would explain the Chevy dashboard and GMC rear leaf springs.

Re: Here we go again
 

:eek:



:haha:

Re: Here we go again
 

Joe, I thought you just sold a beater?

The VIN plate on the top of the cab just over the driver's side window said it was a GMC, and the guy said the title was also, although I didn't look.

It was solid for around here, where there's not much that's old and rust-free. There's not much in the way of these trucks around here. This is the second rusty GMC that I've been interested in trading for. I think a lot of this one's worth was the engine (which was badass) and the fact that it was a short fleet.

Re: Here we go again
 

yeah I sold a '64 short fleet big back window a couple months ago. it made this one look like brand new :lol:
not just rust but tons of bondo, hacked to pieces wiring, and an abortion of an old I-6 swap. It was a real gem. the guy I sold it to just wanted it for parts and he is selling off the stuff he didn't need. but the worst part is I got it from my cousin:eek: i guarantee he won't ever work on (or even touch) any of my stuff :devil:


found an early '60's 4 door caddy today in Norman, they want 2 grand looks to be a runner. I thought it would make a good family cruiser, but the wife made me see the error of my ways :lol: :exit:
