Stay the course.

Ok, now that we all have that out of your systems, let's move along now.

That might be the nicest not really changed from original 58 in the country. Correct valve covers and correct air cleaner and a day of detailing but not over detailing under the hood plus a gentle polish and wax job and you are off to National Chevy truck shows to show in the preserved class.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Yeah somebody is telling lies to try and get paid... look at the overspray on the Column mount, painted door latches, and the gray primer near the filler cap side and on the wheel wells. I saw this ad on Instagram too, trying to pass off as a pristine, all-original unpainted truck.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

That is why you don't buy a rig like that sight unseen and it's best to take your buddy or buddies with the critical eyes along. I didn't study the photos in depth last night except for looking for what had to be done in the engine compartment to have it look original .

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Well, evidently it already sold because the ad has been deleted.

Folks are tossing $$$ at anything they think will retain value.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Well asking and actually getting are two different things and the 28 K asking may have brought a high teens cash green offer.

Still that truck had a serious amount of "don't have to spend big money to fix" going on with it and paying a premium should mean that you aren't paying twice as much to a shop to bring it to that condition.

The "one of" is worth some bucks when it hasn't been changed away from original in anything that can't easily be changed back but that means you have to keep it as is outside of putting original pieces back on or you blow the one of out the door. A nice jet black or candy red paint job that cost 10K isn't going to work with the one of thing. Kind of like buying an all original Bandit trans am and painting it red with a brown interior . Or buying an anniversary editon Corvette and making big changes.

A pretty decent looking GMC hood and pair of AD fenders in this add. Items appear to be near Tieton WA. https://yakima.craigslist.org/pts/d/...389757136.html

The left front fender for A TF looks worth the drive if it works for someone close enough.

This is a very very nice 55, last year of the Advanced Design Series. (First Series 1955) $21,500

I’d love to own this fella but I have a 1950 one ton Panel waiting on me to get running :waah:


1955 Chevy Panel - $1 (freeport)

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

That is one solid looking truck. A bit on the spendy side but you wouldn't have to do a thing to it for years except general maintenance if you didn't want to.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

A VERY good looking Suburban body. Patina could probably be matched...I'm not usually a fan, but I would drive this bad boy:

Nice Patina on this chevy 3600

Attachment 2140707Not a truck but plenty of room to play with your truck, room to run a business and living quarters upstairs. ON FB market place in East Wenatchee Wa right acrosss the street from the airport. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...22337280%22%7D

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

...and, there's a truck cab near the back of the garage. That little shack is only THREE QUARTERS OF A MILLION DOLLARS!

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Given todays "ten cent dollars" its not out of line.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Yuppers, I have a feeling that the guy who has does custom metal work as there is a custom shop full of metal working equipment in including a pretty spendy English wheel.

Property in East Wenachee is pretty spendy anyhow but That would be an excellent location for someone who did custom metal work built custom trucks or cars. It's across the street from the Air terminal, in a light industrial area where you don't get bothered much and have very few others living close.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Coe project, the wheels and tires may make the 8k asking price a lot more friendly.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

At least four other ADs visible in the background - evidently another one of the numerous builders who specialize in those trucks.

If that one were mine, I think I'd put the engine behind the cab for easy access and maintenance. Quieter too.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

He also has a 54 GMC cab for sale https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...code=undefined

Checking his other posts it looks like he does a lot of buying and selling on Chevy and GMC trucks.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

$8K (down from $12K) for a basket case...
imo he'd be lucky to get a grand or 2 for the cab w/clear title

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

A bit pricy but the going price for the wheels on it is about 340 each plus tires. There is probably close to 4 K tied up in wheels and tires if they are new.

Plus just as everywhere else showing up with a trailer and cash green money talks pretty loud at times.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Big 55 GMC in Montana but the price isn't bad.

Someone posted the link on FB this morning

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

you could almost put that old girl to work, maybe hauling containers out of a port. Imagine the looks you would get. reminds me of a tv show called " Cannonball".

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

As complete as it looks that is one that one of the historical truck society brigade would like or set it up to tow a 5th wheel car trailer with living quarters in the front.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

That will sell -- fast

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

that truck doesn't have outriggers... can you imagine being 30 ft in the air on leaf springs?
cool truck regardless

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Haha, I can't believe you edited out the flag on the top of that boom! I checked the listing to see what it really says. Y'all should get a job at NBC - maybe announcing NASCAR races, haha!

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Attachment 2144517The truck with the ladder has spots for outriggers in the rear bumper.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

It's one of those things like an AD or TF with a hoist on it though. If it works your wife will find work for you to do with it.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

nice photochop mr48 :D

i don't think the ladder swivels at all, just up and up and then up further


i try to keep politics off the the forum, i'd go ballistic with crap like that, if someone else posted it

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

No photoshop I don't do photoshop, don't know how to do photo shop and furthermore don't appreciate being accused of doing a photoshop.

I just lightened and cut the bottom off the photo of the front of the truck. I was actually trying to see if there were provisions to connect outriggers to the front.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Gentlemen: I checked the listing last night. As you can see, the ladder goes even higher than Ogre's photo shows ;-)

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

That truck is/was in Ephrata Wa and that is a seriously conservative area. Good people who work hard no matter what their background is.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

Perfect, now we know he can be outsmarted for a better deal :lol:

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

The add was 17 weeks old when I spotted it and didn't see the 17 week thing until last night so I suspect it is long gone. People not taking a FB add down after they sell something seems to be all too common. I messaged a guy a couple of weeks ago on something that the add was about 10 days old on and he comes back that he sold it two hours after he posted the add and wishes people would quit asking about it because he has had around 50 messages asking about it. I messaged him back that he needed to delete the add and yesterday the add is still up.

Re: Post your C/L finds for everyone to enjoy!
 

yes, the guy is obviously a jerk
