So a little while back I sold a guy a smal window cab, no title, in decent shape for $200. Pretty fair deal, right?

Today I was sorting pictures on my computer to make things easier to find and saw this pic of the old cab:

sailed2japan · 01-07-2011, 01:36 PM

I dawned on me then that the cab had come off a truck that was converted to 5 lug and had disc brakes and that this is a manual disc/drum master cylinder. I'd really like to have it back on my shelf...

**Chevy Fleetside** · 01-07-2011, 01:46 PM

Make yourself feel better and just think of it as a drum/drum master..

blackmopar · 01-07-2011, 01:50 PM

man and I thought I beat myself up for selling off sh*t

monolith · 01-07-2011, 03:25 PM

I still beat myself up over selling my 68 chevelle for 500 bucks in '86 instead of rebuilding it.

blackmopar · 01-07-2011, 05:08 PM

i hear ya - i sold my 66 project plymouth a couple years back for about the same - someday my wife will buy me one - thats what i keep telling myself so I stay with her anyways

KIC · 01-07-2011, 06:57 PM

Hey ...I sold a running Edsel Ranger for $75.00 inn 1977 and worse than that I sold a beautiful Ford California Special with new tires and perfect body for $1500 in 1983 and a Mercury Cyclone for $750 in 1982. A few more that I wish I still had even if they were that wretched F product.

rbar · 01-07-2011, 07:42 PM

Johnny, thanks for the window trim. It looks great and I will make great use of it. As long as we're feeling bad, my Father in law was storing his beautifully painted blue '67 GTO at my house a few years ago. It was all restored mechanically and paint, just not the interior. I asked him to store it somewhere else, so he sold it for $4000.

sailed2japan · 01-07-2011, 09:34 PM

Really $4,000! I would have given him more than that...like $4,100 or so.

I'm glad you're happy with the trim, I was wondering about that. I think I unf**ed myself today, though. I found the guys number and gave him a shout. He said "no problem, I'll pull it off and drop it off to you on my way home from work Sunday morning"

gimmy 64 · 01-07-2011, 09:46 PM

in about 1968 i had 2- 56 chevys one was a origianal probably 4000 mile car no motor i sold for 400. the other had a 350 horse 283 sold for 500 . the really bad one i let go was a 55 chevy 2 door hard top with all of the gizmas --power steering power windows everything for 500 bucks

rbar · 01-08-2011, 02:44 AM

glad to hear your gettin it back.

wutnxt · 01-08-2011, 01:51 PM

Okay if it makes you all feel better......

Call me when the body shop leaves your 1969 Z/28 outside in a wind storm...and....and...( dry gulp ) a fricken tree lands on the roof .....then we can talk about it. My paint job is a tad more complicated now then it was going to be, my kids went into hiding for 2 weeks, and the beer guy now has me on a weekly route. Yes there were pictures taken, no I am not going to post them and I choose to think of this expierence as a good time to do Rotisserie upgrade instead of just the change of color I was thinking.

sailed2japan · 01-16-2011, 01:15 PM

So now that it's back in my garage I need to figure out whatit's off of so I can get a rebuild kit for it.

LT1 Burb · 01-16-2011, 01:37 PM

Looks like a 72 master, probably cheaper just to get a rebuilt one from the parts house.

*72lb4x4* · 01-16-2011, 02:19 PM

Yep, only thing lost is the core charge so why worry.

Dustin07 · 01-16-2011, 03:50 PM

I sold my '64 for like $300-400 like a year ago thinking it would be a long time before I'd have a chance to work on a truck. It was a POS but had a great frame/suspension, and a fixable bench seat among some other little things... now I have my brothers '62 and I wish I had that '64 frame / suspension to drop this truck on, and the bench seat, etc.

SkullCandy · 01-16-2011, 05:00 PM

LOL at the title now.
