Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I am torn with what to do with this truck. I drove it home 70 miles and it runs great but I bought it with the intention of using it for a parts truck for my shortbed but it is a really solid truck. It would almost be an easy restore and it would give me a longbed, a shortbed and the suburban. What would you guys do with it.

you have to restore it! it looks so solid. im thinking you should bag it!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Man, that truck is sweet!! Don't use it as a parts truck!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I would kill for a truck that complete. Please restore it or pass it on to someone who will.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Looks like it even has A.C too! I would love to find a truck like that around here!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Really rusty? if not, I say no way. I'm a longbed guy... and that truck has it all!
C'mon! ... big window, auto, A/C... how about V8?, PS?, PB? You don't see too many so well equipped. I mean hardly ever! ...A parts truck?? HA!
Where did you find it? And if you bought it for parts, that means you got it cheap, right?

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Please restore it! A complete running truck, with A/C, and an interior that nice as a parts truck? Not in my book haha drive that thing! :metal:

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Wait! ..you said it was solid.. that means not rusty... Ah Ok, I get it, you're just playing with us... Whew!...for a minute there, I thought you were serious about parting it.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Chop it up and spread the love.. You can make alot of people happy.
Buy the way ill take that steering wheel. :smoke:

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

It's nicer than any of mine.

I'd suggest you either restore it, or put a bit of elbow grease into it, sell it for a profit, then use the cash to buy an actual parts truck. (or just more parts)

Have fun, no matter what you do with it :)

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

NO WAY is that a parts truck! Restore or sell it to someone who will. Please!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

my dream to have one with original ac..and you want to part it out!!!! plz NO

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

big back window,factory a/c, custom trim, looks solid it looks like worst case you could flip it and make some money these are harder to get ahold of i wouldnt part it out if you do let me know i need a couple things thanks!!!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I noticed that it has what I think are dual fuel fillers? is that what this is in the bed sides?

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Restore it man. Its in better shape than mine. I would love to have a fleet like that.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

It has 2 extra gas tanks in it , that is what the bed side sheet metal is for. Honestly I bought it for parts but I have had it for 6 months now and it has grown on me. It has a non original 307 but also has PS and PB, it also came with an extra PS setup.The original windshield is still in it and no chips or cracks. It does have the usual rust in the lower fenders but thats it.I paid 2000 for it but it has that in parts alone so that is why I bought it.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

man where i live that truck in that condition is either a steal @ 2k or has no bed and requires cancer surgery, assuming it still has a drivetrain never mind ac and glass.......please keep it whole, or let someone else restore it! i would give you 2k right now for it no loss money but i live alittle far away....

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I agree, that truck is far too nice to part out.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I think it's unanimous - fix er up! Since it was bought as a parts truck, you can look at it as a freebie! Or sell it, it sure looks nice. But IF you do part it out... ah, put me down for ever factory a/c part that's left on it....

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I agree as well, fix it up, or forward it on to someone to fix up. A little elbow grease, cleaning it up even more, you may be able to flip it for a little profit.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

If its solid, dont part it out! Fix it up.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Hey you can use it to haul parts.
x2 on wish I could find one like that on the east coast.

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

Save it!!

Re: Should I sacrifice this longbed
 

I think it might be a good truck to restore to stock.
