i wish i was closer i would be over every day i cant believe you were going to sell.....

treveiger · 12-28-2010, 01:55 AM

The truck didnt sell? Shes got a lot of potential, maybe try seeing if you can trade it for the year of truck you want.

jakeblues652 · 12-28-2010, 02:21 AM

POS?!?! if thats a piece, i dont want to know what alot of the trucks(including mine) are. jeez, put that on a trailer and ship it to the east coast and let us fight for it

67chevy1series · 12-28-2010, 02:52 AM

well if his is a piece of s%$# then mines a no good rust bucket that should never have the time of day to be worked on! AND WE KNOW THATS NOT TRUE.

screamin_c10 · 12-28-2010, 06:23 AM

I'd be willing to lend a hand as well.... Where are you at in the build?

What kind of work schedule are you on?

oldblue1968chevy · 12-28-2010, 11:54 AM

Wanna trade? lol That'll make a really sharp truck when your finished! Thats awesome that some members will come over and bs and talk trucks/help work and get it finished witcha!

redhead69 · 12-28-2010, 02:22 PM

Heres what I think you should do.. come up with a plan of a few things you want to get done, gather parts if you dont already have them, post dates here and pm people interested in helping your address. Then as many people could show up and lend theyre brain/hands. Just a quick idea of how to get the ball rolling. Maybe throw a mini meet at your place the first weekend of the new year? byot (bring your own tools)!

I agree 100% with redhead.... sounds like a solid plan.

Guys...
This is not a FS thread so lets not turn it into one. I think it is way

that people are willing to help sickred72. This is what makes this forum family special. Good look with your build sickred72 as it looks like a sweet truck and when you get done it will be a

truck that you can be proud of.

What does "FS" stand for? Never heard of that term before

I'd be willing to help on a weekend if you get a work party going.

Not trying to highjack, but you said it didnt sell???? how much were you asking for it? Why were you trying to sell it?

**leddzepp** · 12-28-2010, 02:33 PM

Give it some time, it will sell.

71sierragrande · 12-28-2010, 03:32 PM

Consider it a job. If you finish that truck, it will sell in a day or two for big money. That is how you will get your new project going, by making space and all the money you need will be in your hand.

cerjio · 12-28-2010, 03:35 PM

I agree see how many in your area can come help Offer Free beer an Hamburgers , For later , you wont want a bunch of people standing around bench racing with a beer right away !!!! hahaha

mwilliams5891 · 12-28-2010, 04:30 PM

I would be there if I wasn't swamped with school, and two businesses and my own truck!

but I like the idea of setting up some days....because I might find a way to make it up there KEEP ME POSTED

Todersauce · 12-28-2010, 09:09 PM

Im out here in Hillsburito Im good at lifting heavy things too. Looks like your on the down hill side of things.

CG · 12-30-2010, 02:10 AM

We've done this a couple of times up here. But you need to do all the planning. You need to provide the food and a dry place to work. Make it fun and give plenty of notice. Dont let it turn in to a beer drinking party. Keep the drinks to soda/juice and water. Most everyone likes burgers and dogs off the bbq.

Both times we did it it was a lot of fun and a large amount of work got done. But this is just my opinion, I dont know if a bunch of guys will want to get together to work on your truck just so you will be able to sell it easier. Most people like to see their buddy enjoy their efforts not profit off of them. (so you should plan on keeping it awhile before selling her)
