Re: Possible 1951 purchase with pics
There are plenty of "unfinished" but really decent trucks around the country for sale. This one has a lot of nice parts but way too many sketchy short cuts. It's a project that a guy could buy for 5 or 6 K, take home and blow it apart and fix the things that need fixing and build a pretty decent truck out of it. It's not a 12K truck that a guy can buy, fix a few litle things and go cruising in.
I think we have hashed this one over enough but it does serve as a lesson to look beyond the nifty stuff to the nitty gritty of the actual truck.

48 Chev 3100 that will run a 292 Six.
71 GMC 2500 that is getting a Cad 500 transplant.
77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
