No you don't need another truck (buy it! ) Your wife will kill you (You want it) Your neighbors don't want to see another old beater in your yard. (preserve the classics)
mmmmuuuuwwwwwaahahahahahahaahahahah!!!!!!!!!! buy it! buy it! buy it! buy it!

Re: Just say no....
 

BUY IT! BUY IT! BUY IT! Christmas is coming soon!

Re: Just say no....
 

You only have two now? If they both run then nah, you dont need it. Still its tough to pass up a good running truck (or car for that matter) of the vintage you like for a decent price. Where will you park it? Will you have to insure and plate it just to have it? For some reason my truck is 3x as expensive as my beater 4 door pos. You could start shipping them up here to me, meet you in Nebraska or Iowa, we could use some rust free trucks around here.

If you do not buy it , you will always wonder if it was "The One ". Buy it , drive it , enjoy it . I think that the only type of support group you will find here is a group that will support your decision to buy . Frank

aaw come on whats just one more????? the wife should understand its not like youre bringing home a woman its only a truck!!

Re: Just say no....
 

We're a support group, but we tend to only help out after you've already bought it.

Re: Just say no....
 

I'm looking into the crystal ball... there will be a "Look What Followed Me Home" thread coming soon ;)

Re: Just say no....
 

How many pairs of shoes does your wife have? How many does she really need? :lol:

Re: Just say no....
 

Low mileage classic truck in great shape...hmmm can you really afford not to buy it? :)

BTW, pictures tomorrow will help us with your online support group. :) ;)

Re: Just say no....
 

sounds like a good find if the price is right --everybody needs a decent driver -(i mean an old truck "driver" , not a Ford Taurus DD or something like that)

but dont let it get in the way of getting your big block truck done

Re: Just say no....
 

I dont see the harm in ONE more truck... heck, you need to have something to drive each day of the week...its called baller status, just tell the ol lady that *nods*

Re: Just say no....
 

Did ya buy it yet? Ya need help getting it home?

Re: Just say no....
 

No. I looked it over real good this morning. The truck has a few issues.

It has two small rusted thru areas on the front fenders under the side marker lights. The passenger side rear cab corner is bubbling, and there is some surface rust on the hood, roof and bed. As best I could tell, the floor looks to be intact and rust free. There are a few dents here and there, but nothing major.

The interior looks real nice with flawless original butterscotch plaid vinyl seat. It even has the factory radio and the dashpad just has one small crack in the middle where the speaker is.

If it were a short bed, it would be a no-brainer... I would have handed him the cash already and loaded it up on the tow-dolly.

I'm probably going to pass on it. In the last 12 months I have gotten rid of 5 'project' cars. I still have the V8 Fiero project that I want to actually finish, and then I have the big block '86 short bed project waiting in the wings (which I thought would be done by now).

If anyone wants to swoop in and pick this up, by all means go ahead. The truck is located in Shreveport. If you want me to stop by and take some pics tomorrow before I head back to Houston, just let me know.

Here's a couple more for you to consider. There's a SWB frame in the classified section here that would slip right under either one of these-
