Awesome truck, but really disappointed by the engine bay. Looks like it hasn't been dusted in 30+ years and it doesn't make sense given how nice the exterior is.

Decent options for a Custom Deluxe.

Impossible, GM didn't build a 73-87 8'-6" long bed. :D

There is a lot to like about that truck . I am confused about the wood grain gauge panel in a Base truck but it looks original . I would like to have it .
Hey , I just came into a little money and an open spot in the garage.
Must resist.

My first thought was "I wonder when Frank is going to pick that up". Your reputation proceeds you, Mr. Monroe.

someone on the board should go and meet with the seller and take some closer pics for those members who would benifit from seeing an original unmolested round eye. Anyone here from that area?

Re: If I had the cash..this would be mine!

the paint looks very smooth on that truck . My black truck was nice but you could see that the paint was original and it had its orange peel texture and all still intact. You could still see all of the spot welds in every panel on my truck. It had never been sanded and buffed . My orange and white 73 Cheyenne Super was original and looked great but someone had cut and polished it . The paint on that blue truck could be original . If it has been cut/polished it will look good . Pics make them all look better and that may be the case with the truck we are discussing. It also may just be that nice . Detailing a truck can really bring out the positives . I would like to see it in person . I would like to see the inside of the bed . It looks like it has some sort of liner in it but I cant tell if it is plastic or sprayed in . It is a nice truck either way . Think of it like this. A NOS cargo light sells for over $400, headlight buckets for over $600 ,and a pair of NOS vent windows without the glass went for over $700 the other night . These trucks are getting more popular and nice original examples will always bring good money. I wonder where this one will end up ?

Unfortunately, I know where it won't end up. In my driveway.

He said it was painted 6 years ago and for that I'm out!

That little detail about the paint should be included in the ad . It appears like it is being sold as an all original truck .

Here's a few things I've noticed about it: the rockers should have some wear from getting in and out (so yeah its not original). Also the front bumper sure does have a tilt to it...

f.monroe 03-28-2011 09:01 PM

Re: If I had the cash..this would be mine!
 
Anthony,
I missed it the first time I looked at the pics but look at the door latch mechanisms. Painted over. It is still a nice truck . Probably still worth a good amount but since it has been painted, I would have to see it in person to buy it . It has been painted ,and I think the dash bezel is from another truck because of the woodgrain, but it is still nice looking . Most people will tweak a vehicle to their liking and this one looks nicely done. If he took it to Yezzi's house for 12 days the price would have gone through the roof already.

Re: If I had the cash..this would be mine!
 
Yeah it is a nice truck... and very tastefully done I do agree for sure. I'm surprised there wasn't the extra time spent to detail up the engine compartment... and to add a new armrest and dash pad. It does look great in the pics... kinda like mine, then you get up close and see all the flaws ;) Your old 73 was the best "original" I had ever seen.

And yes Yezzis engine revamp is PERFECT... he could make some nice $$ doing that for people.

Restrorob 03-28-2011 09:50 PM

Re: If I had the cash..this would be mine!
 
Even though it's a nice looking truck, After studying the pics I see what's been mentioned already and a few more things that are questionable. This guy would need to have documentation proving what this truck is and that's the original mileage to get my money.

Looks more like a "Desert Kings" resto to me.....

Hubscrub 03-28-2011 09:57 PM

Re: If I had the cash..this would be mine!
 
that truck is from/near "bondo alley" thats what my dad said they called down that way back in the day.;) i remember there was tons of car haulers parked on the side of the road and several nice old cars down that way. We used to go down there to see my great aunt when i was younger.
