Were there short bed Gentlemen Jims or Beau James trucks made?

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

Wow....what an....ugly ass truck lol

Maybe the work was tacky.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

Beau James, Yes, IDK about Gent Jims

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

I believe they are unique to the GJ trucks

Nice unit...I don't think it is 100% correct

The front buckets are in cloth ...I have only ever seen vinyl on trucks

$50,000.00 in todays world is a lot.

Most square bodies top out at 25-30,000.00 ....and that is for original paint /under 10000 mile short beds

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

The hood stripes, bed decals and embroidered buckets all deviate from stock.

The bed rails, fog lights and tonneau covers were options on Gentleman Jim trucks.

I've researched a lot and never found a documented factory short bed Gentleman Jim or one with any other engine than a 350.

He won't get half that price lol... they sold one at the Dallas auto auction when I was there two years ago. In that condition too, went for $17k

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

You'd think for $50k you would at least get a 100% restoration. He didn't even bother to detail the wiring harness behind the brake booster. Looks like he used the same color of autozone aluminum to detail all the parts under the hood that should technically be cadmium, and to top it he put a Buick 350-4 sticker on the air cleaner. Also, didn't even clean or detail the frame.

This is just another example of people watching too much tv. Shows like Barrett-Jackson and Pickers and antique road show should have never been aired. They have exaggerated prices and reality so much so that we now live in an exaggerated world.

That guy has himself a nice $9000 daily driver.

Rant over.

He could be using a trick I used to do. Wife wants it gone, he doesn't, Prices it stupid high and tells the wife, nobody is buying. LOL.

If he really thinks that truck will bring 50k, he fell out out of the stupid tree and hit every limb on the way down.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

That truck looks NICE! I would be hard pressed to sell that one if I had bought it new. It's not a 50k truck but it is nice. It has a few personal touches but most do.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

At first glance i though it was 5K......then had to look at it again... 50k is waaaaaay toooooooooo much, but it is a nice truck.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

A restored 69 Camaro would be cheaper.

I used to have an auto dealers license, and I hate that barret jackson TV show. Its done nothing but hurt everyone, even the sellers.

I'd tell the wife she'd better watch it or I'll sell HER! :lol:

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

Love the colors on that truck. Just screams 70's gaudy disco fever on wheels. Put on some plaid pants, a striped shirt, fluff the fro, and go for a cruise with the 8 track cranked.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

did the Beau James have the same option on the bed rails?

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

Man i would love to just cruise that around.

Re: Nuther Gentlemen Jim
 

The Beau James package also had optional bedrails, tonneau cover and fog/driving lights. The bedrails were a different style than the Gentleman Jim.

Look at the difference between the bases, the height and the shape of the rails themselves.
