I talked with him and got the I was gonna finish but too much going on. He wouldnt budge any on the price.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

At least the frame isn't laying on the ground like a Buick Skylark GS I looked at many years ago. Price was good, but the pictures were a bit misleading, to say the least. That truck still ain't worth that kind of scratch, though, to me. I could just say"sour grapes", because I'm actually looking for a long bed step side, but I think that what I want and what I will spend for it are on a collision course. :lol:

Dodge truck - very cool.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

I know what they say about opinions but those old dodge trucks are some of the ugliest things I have ever seen. With that being said I would not mind owning one

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Back in the day, I worked on everything. I know how to fix dogdes too, but can't get past the looks. A guy around the corner had a 3/4T ~69 truck, painted purple (cheapo, not "Plum Crazy"). It was for sale for a long time, and I did consider selling out and buying something other than GM if I could have got it cheap. :lol: It eventually sold, but it took many months. Popularity, or maybe he was asking a prince's ransom, I don't know, as he didn't have the price on the for sale sign.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

X2! I would add, these are the types of pickups that were impossible to purchase in the 70's and 80's, original owners simply did not want to sell them. They would stay in the family till the 2nd or 3 generation no longer has the room for it and are finding out they inherited a nice chunk of change.

What's the deal with the air freshener?
Does someone not like that old truck smell?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

I guess not! I once told my grandfather, when I was a kid, that I liked the smell of his old '66 C20 and he said, "Boy, that's the smell of rat piss." :dohh:

I would love to buy this truck, but not the right time for me.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Looks like I'm the proud new owner!

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Congrats...Awesome Truck

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Great job! Congratulations and enjoy it!

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Congrats! I hope you start a build thread for that fine specimen :metal:

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

I'd like to have that old girl in my driveway, but I agree that the time is not right. Like about 20 years too late. Cool truck!

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

So Cool!
What's your plans?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Congratulations, that truck looks like a beast.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Overall plan is to retain as much of the originality as possible.

Immediate items:
Reattach the speedometer cable to the transmission (Going to need to find some info on this)
Replace one busted brake line
Ditch the split ring tires and replace with some 8 lug steel rims I have laying around, then maybe 235/85R16 tires to keep the tall skinny look.
Order some new front fenders
Send it out to get replacement rockers/inner and outer/can corners/inside kick panels
Send it out to weld up and repair the cab mounts on all corners
Try to get any patch panels painted close to the current matte red/orange color


Then drive it and show it off as much as possible.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Great plan! Can you just have your current fenders patched?
Here is why I'm interested in your plans:

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

great catch, congrats! :c2:

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Dang cool truck!! Can't get over the look, K20, 3/4ton, old M+S tires... great combination. I'm glad you're going to be keeping it original. Those suckers are far and few in between now.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

My initial thought is that hanging a whole new fender will save me in the long run. I'm not doing the body work myself, so the less welding, the cheaper on my end. Unless there's a really good reason why patching would be better.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Maybe find used fenders in good enough shape to use that will blend better. The replacement ones I have seen do not match exactly, the crease in the front is different, and the fit is off. I pitched my new ones and found originals for one truck I had.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Great find. Glad to hear you are keeping her original. I would seriously consider keeping those original fenders and just have them patched, correctly. If they are original to the truck you will probably never get another fender to line up as well. You do not want to purchase new reproduction fenders. They are a nightmare to get to fit. What ever you decide keep those fenders with the truck. Maybe in the back room of your shop, but don't get rid of them. Just my 2 cents worth. I really like your new purchase. Good luck with it.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

This is Facebook Marketplace find but a find nonetheless. Not sure if the link will work but I will give it a shot. Thoughts?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

New fenders wont save time nor money. Very few, if any, are gonna bolt up. Lots of massaging has to be done to get them to fit decent

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Civil, does yours have the 261 Inline 6 left over from the previous truck engines?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

Congrats civil EGR! That's a great truck and I won't ask how much but did you get a good deal?

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

That's a good price, for all that has been done to it.

And how.
Looks like about three different type components maybe more to make that.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

292 that runs really smooth.

If you remember the ad, I got him to knock $1K off, which I feel was fair. I still haven't found a good comparable truck to figure how good of a deal I got.

Re: Post your 60-66 craigslist finds
 

That's a great truck you found. Glad you plan to keep it original, its a rare bird as they just didn't make many K20's in that era, and most got worked to death and put out to pasture years ago. It's even got my favorite engine, the 292.
235/85R16's on steel rims are what I run on mine. They look good and perform well. Just be careful as some steel 16's have rivets that will bind against the drums and warp them ever so slightly and cause no end of impossible to figure out brake problems (ask me how I know!) You don't want to mess up those front drums, as they are very hard to replace. The good news is when dialed in right those big 12" drums do a real good job, even if like me you overload that thing and make it work for a living like God intended it to do.
The speedo cable actually goes to the xfer case, but if you can't find the correct longer length cable, you can attach it to the trans like in a 2wd, it just won't read right in 4low.
Have fun with your new toy.
