Some people are so picky

That is a beautiful truck

c10addict · 07-02-2008, 11:57 AM

The old red truck finds its way back to the forum again....

At least the auction was done right this time and the spelling was correct....

The guy who owns the truck now probably just put it on the bay to see what it would pull... He is a BIG TIME collector and a BIG TIME Barrett Jackson buyer and seller... If he likes it enough to keep it till Barrett Jackson rolls around I can almost gaurentee you will see it roll across the block... I think he took about 20 cars to sell and brought close to 30 cars home from Barrett Jackson last year... Hes smart and buys them right....

I agree its a VERY nice truck but there a few small things that seem like were forgotten about during the build...

Ya that first auction was horrendous. I got "yelled" at here b/c I said something about his spelling/grammar.

I still think it's a nice truck. But you guys are right, some stuff was left out. The more I look at the pics, the more things I see. I mean, some things are not my preference, but they work. But no flywheel cover for 80k+?? Come on. I still would not kick it out of my garage...

BTW, can you explain to me about the six-cylinder position? Is if farther back? What are the tell-tale signs? I'm sure I could search it here, but I'm too lazy today.

Looks like a "built" truck.In the background there are some other equaly nice rides.I would imagine he has way more then that in it since pro builders put tons of hours into one and they do charge more tham a Benz dealer.

**Hart_Rod** · 07-01-2008, 09:08 PM

That's a pretty slick ride...................

Agree, since it has air bags that translates into a "complete" air ride tech set up.

c10addict · 07-03-2008, 03:59 PM

I gotta be honest.... Yes you can pick things apart on this truck if you want... I build my own cars and trucks and know what it costs to build something like that truck... If you are paying somebody to build it you could easily have $120 grand in it... Check around with high end body shops... You can easily spend 20 to 30 grand on paint, body mods and body work.... Then lets look at the wheels and tires, engine, trans, interior, and all the other things that it took to create this beautiful truck... It is nicer than most trucks on this forum and it just keeps getting slammed and slammed again.... My truck would be down the road to make room for this one in my garage... Stock control arms or not....

That is the point I was trying to make. If you can do the work yourself, then 120k or even 80 k seems high. But if you pay a shop to build your truck for you, then you will pay out the rear. Don't forget that they charge you for the time researching and finding/ordering parts, plus the shops mark up on parts (Not directing this at Stoked out Specialties, just a general shop reference). Most high end shops charge 100.00 per hour, and show quality paint jobs can get way up into the 30k range. Heck, I wanted to get someone to paint my completely stripped interior of the cab, doors, and jam it, with no windows and no taping necessary. THe range I have gotten for a driver paint job is 700- 1000 for interior alone!!!! not even including the floor (bedliner material put on the floor). I was figuring 300- 350. Guess I was wrong!!! My point is that this is a very nice truck and we can pick anything apart, partly because there are a lot of "experts" on here with these trucks, but also because a little bit of jealousy is involved. Park that thing in my garage any day and I would be tickled pink.

jorgensensc · 07-01-2008, 09:26 PM

I think it looks right for the price, if you can't build your own. The only thing I find odd is that they have this awesome interior, very custom, then they used the boring outdated Vintage Air controls. The round dial style would have been more appropriate in my opinion. Other than that a nice truck , JMHO.

Yep and it got picked apart at that price too! I think it's a fine ride. Lots of time went into it. Yes, some things I would have done differently, but I wouldn't kick it out of my garage!

72armyswbtruck · 07-02-2008, 12:41 AM

Yup, I remember that truck,
Gotta love the craftsmanship.

caminokid · 07-02-2008, 03:20 AM

$80,100.00??? And this fool hasnt ended the auction and emailed the fool that bid that much and said its yours?? Whats the reserve??? $100,000.00??? I believe you should make money...but that isnt that kind of vehicle for that much. Cool truck...nice work but not for that much.

original_balzer · 07-02-2008, 03:59 AM

I can say its not worth the money. I cant say its not a nice ride. But in my oppinion theres too many things that look like afterthoughts or maybe just not matched up very well. I know my oppinion stinks just like everyone elses but its just the wrong cmbination of things for my taste.

The hot rod instument cluster doesnt match anything but the door handles. Air gauge all by its self. A buncha stuff is hidden, yet other things are right out in the open and look dumb, like the modern sterio. I agree with the vintage air controls, the only thing they match is the out of place sterio. Thats not to say I wouldnt LOVE to own it but for the price listed it would have to be exactly the way I wanted even if I was rich enough to buy it then change it

HoupPhotography · 07-02-2008, 04:32 AM

I don't know if you can see it in these photos, does it look like the paint is jacked up or is it just a result of resizing and selecting the incorrect quality of the image (low instead of high)

Indyuke · 07-02-2008, 04:36 AM

I wonder why they kept the old style door latch.

67dragtruck · 07-02-2008, 06:15 AM

I think it's a stunning truck. Of course it couldn't be exactly what everyone would want but it's a heck of a truck. I too remember that it was picked totally apart on here when it sold for $50k too so it's not a surprise that it happens again when somebody bids this much. All I know is I wish I thought mine was going to turn out anywhere near that nice.
