What do you think of this truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

syncrov69 · 09-03-2007, 10:54 PM

Hi I'd like to buy this truck for my first project. This is the truck that I like to have 1967 LWB stepside but I'm not sure if it's a good deal. The price is between 1000$-1500$ but many rust is on the truck and I think that's critical emplacement and very expensive to repair. Please give me your opinion if yes or no it's a good deal, if you have low expensive trick to repair rear fender and all your comments is welcome to help me. You are the specialist and I'm the rookie! I put picture to give you an idea. The engine runs good and owner convert 3 speed column tranny to floor shift whit Hurst Indy shifter.

Thank's

François

All those things are fixable, but it will take quite a bit of time and money. I'd try and get if for less if you're interested in fixing it, since it's got some rust issues.

**SactoJim** · 09-03-2007, 11:05 PM

I'd walk away from that one.

Brock · 09-03-2007, 11:11 PM

looks pretty rough, and a bunch of work and $$$. On the bright side you sound like this type of truck is what you want and it sounds like its drivable. If you could drive it while collecting the parts to do the restore it might be OK. However at $1000-1500 I'd have to pass...try to talk him down on the price.

Id RUN away from that one,seriously if you can do the work,get it for 500-700 if you can't that looks like in the neighborhood of 3-5k of body work, for that you can be $ ahead by buying a better truck.

hvychve · 09-03-2007, 11:07 PM

lots of work involved, replacement panels could add up in cost and some of the work will require making your own. I would offer less, if he doesnt take, me personally, would look elsewhere.....if engine and trans work well, that may be all you're gett'n for your money.....

syncrov69 · 09-03-2007, 11:11 PM

What's a logical price for this truck? It's tought for me to have an idea in the Quebec market this kind is rare and I don't have a real idea of the price. I chek ebay but it's only in US and I htink that you have more truck like this in your country.

red69ss · 09-03-2007, 11:12 PM

just my opinion at best that is a $100 to $200 parts truck I think you can find a better truck, it would take a good body man and a lot of metal to replace all that rust.

syncrov69 · 09-03-2007, 11:14 PM

If I understand it's a good VIN plate donor truck but not more!

Longhorn Man · 09-03-2007, 11:13 PM

I'd walk away from that. Personally, unless you want to replace every piece of metal (including cab) I'd call that a parts truck, or a winter beater.
You would be WAY ahead if you were to find something out of the rusty areas... If I'm not mistaken, your west coast is generally a low rust area, even with shipping, you'd be WAY ahead.

sick69 · 09-03-2007, 11:18 PM

Personally I wouldn't pay more than 100 or 200 if the drivetrain is in good working order. Otherwise I would suggest to keep looking. Just my opinion though.

wibilly · 09-03-2007, 11:37 PM

walk away and don't look back. that one even makes my junk ones look good

Ilike 72"s · 09-03-2007, 11:42 PM

I agree! I towed home a free 72 longhorn today. Everything is there. Free. I need a doner for the air dash. There out there, keep looking.

EAST SIDE LOW LIFE · 09-04-2007, 12:25 AM

Walk .... better yet RUN!

esll.

CG · 09-04-2007, 01:02 AM

If you do buy it make sure you never hit a bump.

Infanti · 09-04-2007, 01:09 AM

You could fly out to the westcoast,buy one here and drive or ship it back and still be way ahead.Major rust in the wrong places.

Premium72 · 09-04-2007, 01:11 AM

PASS. unles you get it for free. toooo much work.

**special-K** · 09-04-2007, 05:49 AM

That`s beyond replacement panels.I`ve seen better bodies scrapped.Good for parts only and the seller is dreamimg at $1,000.
Save your money and come down south and get a better start.Keep watching our "Trucks For Sale" section in "Classifieds".

L0WRIDE · 09-04-2007, 05:56 AM

I agree with the rest of the guys here $1000 dollars is way to much keep looking something better will turn up

**John Fabris** · 09-04-2007, 10:46 AM

I agree, that truck is a little too far gone as far as rust. I would expext to pay as little as $200 for one like that and it would only be for parts. You may want to try to work out a deal with someone on this board to help get you a better truck from US for $1000.

ibyourhucklebery · 09-04-2007, 12:21 PM

RUN and RUN AWAY FAST young grasshopper, the tire might be good

syncrov69 · 09-04-2007, 12:27 PM

Do you have suggestion for 1000$ truck in US? I wait your pictures if you have one.

2bits · 09-04-2007, 12:59 PM

You can buy a $500 truck body down here and pay $1000 to have it shipped and you would and up with a better deal in the end. I know they are hard to find but that cab rust is beyond repair in my opinion, it would need replacement not repair.
