they must have changed the auction? there are no bids, it starts at $1,973, and there are lots of pics. It is a very nice truck.

I wouldnt pay more than $2000 for that heap, theres a ton of rust on it, and its not even an original paint job!!!!

screwballl · 09-03-2004, 09:39 AM

that looks slightly cleaner then my 76 and i noticed, he has the EXACT same tires i do, kinda strange as my tires are not the most popular lol

forgive me i just woke up so simple things amuse me right now

bigblock73 · 09-03-2004, 09:56 AM

Anyone notice the fitment of the drivers door in the last pic? How about the rust creeping out from behind the VIN plate? I bet there is a ton of stuff hiding behind that paintjob. It is a clean truck overall, but it will definately need attention in the near future.

Greenlee · 09-03-2004, 10:31 AM

Wow! If that truck is worth $50,000 I have seen some trucks on this message board that are worth about a million dollars. Mine must be worth about $75,000.00.

cliffsta · 09-03-2004, 04:06 PM

wait a minute, i thought the 454 wasn't offered until like 74 or 76? I thought GM used the 402 big block for a few years in these trucks before switchting to the 454. hmmm.

Jonboy · 09-03-2004, 04:28 PM

73 was the first year for the 454 in 1/2 tons, I think. No 402's in this body style. Where did the $50K come in? I guess I need to read the ad a little closer. Nice truck, if it was to end where it is at.

***Liz*** · 09-03-2004, 07:02 PM

When it was first listed last night, the open bid was 50k , one pic and said it would be updated at 10 cst. prolly a good marketin ploy, got us all to look...

plumbcut · 09-03-2004, 07:49 PM

hey the engine's red

man look how small the snorkel is on that BBC

RollsRoyce007 · 09-03-2004, 07:54 PM

Hello to All Sorry to cause such a big deal here on line...put $50,000 for 30 miniutes while I had to step out and I got heck for it.... Well it is a nice 73 Chevy truck...the 454 is the original motor! you think this one is nice.... look at these..

**N2TRUX** · 09-03-2004, 09:12 PM

RollsRoyce007 welcome to the forum. I suppose the guys were a little harsh on you, but you can imagine what they were thinking when they saw the 50k price tag.
Those pics you posted are awesome...

Greenlee · 09-03-2004, 10:08 PM

Nice trucks! Welcome to the board.

Russell · 09-03-2004, 10:20 PM

Mmm... That Red 4x4 is looking veeeery sweet

I can tell there was a bit of photoshopping done on the green truck, but its still looking nice....

A truck of the caliber of the one you are selling is like completely mint compared to what I am used to seeing...
