Sold for $55,000

As the title says...

Beautiful truck. I'd have to say, probably well worth the money.

Re: Sold for $55,000

He finally settled for 55k. Originally he passed on that offer. Someone got a really nice truck at a good price.

So your going to drive it in the rain.. or in the cold.. I am not really knocking what your saying, but I have built quite a few nice high end projects in my time and wipers and heaters are not in the program good AC usually is.. I flew over the listing I would do a couple things different, But there is no way possible you can build that for 55 grand period!

On another note that can lead to a whole new subject, I was looking at a "POS" 72 SWB fleet and the guy told me ten grand with the for sale sign in the window... I said no thanks his respoce was well they go for 55 grand.....

The truck was set-up for Vintage Air so the heater thing is a no-brainer & the wipers are just a painted cowl-vent away. If the new owner can afford the sale price, I'm willing to bet they can get those two items remedied & enjoy the truck this upcoming show season.

Obviously this truck wasn't built to be the sole source of transportation or drive cross country for the guy. It was a project that even if he didn't do all (or any) of the work, he helped guide those that did/could to complete his vision (even if it did require some persuasion from the builders).

It's a nice truck period & I hope he's happy about the sale. Can a truck be built as nice for less? Sure.

But . . .... How many of us have accomplished this goal??

Re: Sold for $55,000

Even if you only paid $50 per hour to have that truck built I bet it was over $100k. I have a full custom build planned and it wil have over 500hrs of body work and paint alone. Then figure in mechanical work and parts, interior, tires, wheels, glass and trim plus thousands in misc parts and pieces. I have asked my self several times why I even want to start such a project. I have never come up with a good reason so I just stopped asking

All the rock throwers need to read this. I have beat this drum for years but all I get is " I could build three trucks for that". NO you can't build three, you can't even build one of this caliber.

I agree with all the comments regarding build costs. When you are building a quality, custom truck, an enormous amount of time goes into the customization but it also takes a lot of time taking the caliber of the build to the next level. I have close to 400 hours into paint and body and I started with a rust-free truck. Then you start talking about detailing the engine compartment... Hours and hours and lots of $$$ for shiny parts. Then, once the outside of the truck is finished, you need to do the interior. It wouldn't surprise me if the interior on that truck cost $10,000 or more. Then, you need to start looking at cool details like the back window. OK, I'm rambling but the list goes on and on and so does the money. All that being said, I'm glad I spent the money to build my truck. It is going to bring me enjoyment for many years.

Re: Sold for $55,000

Don't every body shoot me here, but i'd climb over 20 of those to get to C10-Drivers truck, that green is superb and it still looks like a true C10...you cannot improve on the way these trucks look, they got them just right first time, there's a few good things on there for sure but i'd pass.

Just My Opinion!

Re: Sold for $55,000

Hey, I'm just saying I prefer to have a daily driver that's a little more practical and that I can take off-road without worrying too much about it. And I can do THAT for a lot less than $55,000.

To each his own; it's just not my cup of tea.

Re: Sold for $55,000

not sure if it's worth 55K or not, but the guy should buy a spell checker with the funds, he probably would got a few grand more.

Here are a couple of my favorites:

"Every peace of wireing was replaced with painless wireing"

"plenty to cruse"

"ceramic coated inside & out that run out to the bach side of the rear tires"

"rear end to handle the monter tires"

and of course the best for last...

"Air ride techknogely"

Sorry, couldn't help myself.

I agree - you are trying to present the best side of the vehicle and you can't spell - not just one or two words, but a lot - you would think he would have someone read over it for errors - if someone is that meticulous on a vehicle, you think it would be reflected on how they presented that vehicle. Just my opinion.

I must say that I am impressed with the nuts and bolts being imported from Poland!--- as the seller stated, "nuts and bolts are polish:"

Re: Sold for $55,000

The real bottom dollar is $106,000 that's what he got for the truck, trailer and tow rig. It's going to Nebraska next week to the new owner. He also sold his very nice matching 66 Nova for around 35K last month and he's done all this to get his new company off the ground. Yes it is true that he doesn't use spell checker but he sure knows how to make the $$.

Do you know him? Does he make the money or was it an inheritance? He is obviously very innovative, even if he didn't build it.
What is his new company?

I just wish more people on this forum would take the same advice they are offering about using spell check.....
