Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
It pretty much just adds to the end story of the project. LOL
My wife works as a property manager. There is always someone who skips on the commercial spaces and the stuff left behind gets sold at some point (never seen a million-dollar unit like on TV, but a gem here and there) The chassis and project popped up on Marketplace and I was like WOW, right here in town. Then I looked in the background and it was an old mill that has been converted for storage and a few guys mechanic/body work in some of the buildings. It is one of the properties she manages. I called her boss which is my childhood best friend and told him I wanted it, and he said a guy is on the way. So, I said, "So am I". When I got there, they were finishing the deal. I guilted him pretty bad (that is what friends do). I bought a 80 long bed truck (complete) for $400 and then a 2004 Tahoe that was missing a front diff and the transfer case for $100. This weekend I pulled everything I want off the 80-model truck. And the LS motor is free, just needs to be lifted out but the rain got me late this afternoon. So, I have all the things I want in a project, but I just don't have a project just yet. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!

But I can also say there's a deal out there that's right for Scott. It will happen. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
No doubts.
There are four that I know of right here in town. One is pretty rough. Two are mid project but everything is there and in pretty good shape for the most part. The fourth is an almost to the end project. All four are 'entertaining' the thoughts of selling them. LOL The wait is helping me get prepared and stockpile some stuff so when the project actually starts the 'parts' search will not be so bad. Scott Quote:

A beast with a different vibe down in Hogfarm's general area.
https://www.facebook.com/groups/47.5...00913060098163 We have been watching a lot of the Offroad recovery shows from Utah and my wife has been talking crawler. I may have a way to use up some of my left over parts. |

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Is that a scam or just a really good price?

spray can black firewall, For me on a basically original truck that is a thousand dollar bargaining tool. It's a real nice driver quality truck that a lot of folks will like because of the automatic. Anyone buying it and figuring that they are going to take it to shows and win awards are probably going to be disappointed. Great for going to cars and coffee and the burger joint cruise night, It's going to take some work to be an award winner on a larger scale. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
The red one? Don't THINK it's a scam. Price is about right if you see the pics. It's nice but not as nice as the first impression the first pic gives

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
That's a nice looking truck but the pictures don't match the written description. That's not a four barrel carb, it's got a clutch pedal, and no whitewalls as it says. You would need to get rid of the straight axle, add ps, pb, and a/c, and a good radio to make it a good driver IMO. I would have to get rid of that side mounted spare tire too. It's a nice starting place but that's a lot to pay for a starting place.

Trans is a compound / granny 4 speed. I'm thinking cash talks and someone might end up with a pretty decent little driver truck. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
4 barrel carb, turbo 350 manual trans and dual exhaust on a I6, screams SCAM!

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Side mounted spare is nice for a driver that you are actually going to drive and use. A battle of laying under the back of the truck in the mud or on pavement so hot in the summer time that you get burns on any bare skin that touches it will convince you of that even tough the look doesn't jive with the clean and uncluttered look.
My 77 long bed C10 had the spare under the bed and on the one flat I had on it it took longer to get the spare out from under the truck than it did to jack it up and swap tires and go. Dang, that was amost 50 years ago. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Just a note. Anyone else seen so many trucks and projects for sale on FB, CL and local papers?!! Also many for sale at shows. Its a little unsettling. !!!

There isn't much of anything AD or TF wise for sale locally (within 100 miles) on FB market place or Craigslist right now. Some of the Craigslist adds may have expired though. Some of the FB adds were pretty old and I almost posted a link to one that was almost a year old the other day.
After the car show season is pretty well over a lot of enthusiast vehicles usually come up for sale as owners either decide to sell to finance a project or mark having an old truck or car and going to shows off their list of been there done that. There is a somewhat local guy that I know who has done the build a hot rod thing, Have a drag car thing, then he had a Harley and went to Sturgis a couple of times and the last time I saw him he had a wake boat. I ran into him at a gas station when he was getting ready to go out with the boat and I was getting gas in my car. I'm thinking that there may have been a Corvette or two in the mix too as I only see him every two or three years But Wait a minute, Here is a GMC with an S-10 frame and a wee six for 2800 that was posted a couple of weeks ago that I missed. https://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/d/...530397077.html That might make a project for someone within driving distance. Bring your own basket. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Stuff like this has been coming up for days on the tech/swap forums. Got invite to look at 54 project here. Might be free?
https://www.facebook.com/groups/47.5...vity&ref=notif |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
He's 93 miles from me and 22 miles from Hogfarm. I don't think anything he has is going to be close to free.
I posted that 4x4 here the other day and to tell the truth if I won the lotto I'd be seriously thinking about going after it. 21 K or not it just spins my wheels. I could probably build my own version for a lot less though. |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Was a day too late for the local 54 project. Think i Missed opportunity of lifetime as all of it was given away. Talking solace in that I'm too old anyway.

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

54 Cab and frame out east of Renton Washington . The cab looks pretty decent outside of a lot of bondo in the cowl side panels. 500 with mostly good glass.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2111112l%22%7D That's a few miles from my sister and brother in law but I am out of project space. |

For the PNW TF brigade, It looks like a long bed 58 stepside that was cut out for tubs at one time.
The fenders lookgood and the front panel and tailgate look real good. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...2111112l%22%7D |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
That doesn't look like a bad deal at all. Wish it was closer to me.
|
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
Actually it's only 277 or so miles from you. The price is a bit high by my standards but I figure that Cash Green money in the hand speaks loudly. still it's what you don't have to do to the fenders, tailgate and front panel that give the value.

Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
I'm thinking that one is going to be for sale for a long time at that price. Sticking frufru that doesn't belong on that model of vehicle doesn't make it worth three times the money.
Nice truck to have to haul hay and lumber with though. |

An Add in a bit of a different way. Rydman Ranch Company is a Chassis builder now located down the road from me in Prineville Oregon who builds some serous Chevy/GMC truck chassis.
Great people that I met at the Portland Roadster show a few years ago. This is their offering for a 55/59. |

Seattle CL
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/c...561002006.html 1952 chevy short box 5 window. 1982 s10 long bed. 504 frame kit still in the boxes. 52 has some rust in the floorboards. Both trucks run & have titles. $7k is not a horrible deal if you want to build an S10 swapped AD Attachment 2233894 S10 looks decent too |
Re: Post your C/L - Facebook finds for everyone to enjoy!
That S-10 is worth 2500 to Migrant farm workers over here in the Yakima Valley if it runs and drives decent.
Truck looks better than most that come up for sale even if you sold off the S 10 and the kit. |
