Sold for $55,000
As the title says...
Beautiful truck. I'd have to say, probably well worth the money. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...MEWA:IT&ih=014

Re: Sold for $55,000
I was watching it, have every pic of it, and wanted it, but I was about $50K short

Re: Sold for $55,000
He finally settled for 55k. Originally he passed on that offer. Someone got a really nice truck at a good price.

Re: Sold for $55,000
Nice truck, it had to cost way more than 55k to build it.

Obviously this truck wasn't built to be the sole source of transportation or drive cross country for the guy. It was a project that even if he didn't do all (or any) of the work, he helped guide those that did/could to complete his vision (even if it did require some persuasion from the builders). It's a nice truck period & I hope he's happy about the sale. Can a truck be built as nice for less? Sure. But . . .... How many of us have accomplished this goal??

Re: Sold for $55,000
Even if you only paid $50 per hour to have that truck built I bet it was over $100k. I have a full custom build planned and it wil have over 500hrs of body work and paint alone. Then figure in mechanical work and parts, interior, tires, wheels, glass and trim plus thousands in misc parts and pieces. I have asked my self several times why I even want to start such a project. I have never come up with a good reason so I just stopped asking

Re: Sold for $55,000
All the rock throwers need to read this. I have beat this drum for years but all I get is " I could build three trucks for that". NO you can't build three, you can't even build one of this caliber.

I agree with all the comments regarding build costs. When you are building a quality, custom truck, an enormous amount of time goes into the customization but it also takes a lot of time taking the caliber of the build to the next level. I have close to 400 hours into paint and body and I started with a rust-free truck. Then you start talking about detailing the engine compartment... Hours and hours and lots of $$$ for shiny parts. Then, once the outside of the truck is finished, you need to do the interior. It wouldn't surprise me if the interior on that truck cost $10,000 or more. Then, you need to start looking at cool details like the back window. OK, I'm rambling but the list goes on and on and so does the money. All that being said, I'm glad I spent the money to build my truck. It is going to bring me enjoyment for many years.

Re: Sold for $55,000
Don't every body shoot me here, but i'd climb over 20 of those to get to C10-Drivers truck, that green is superb and it still looks like a true C10...you cannot improve on the way these trucks look, they got them just right first time, there's a few good things on there for sure but i'd pass.
Just My Opinion!

Re: Sold for $55,000
Hey, I'm just saying I prefer to have a daily driver that's a little more practical and that I can take off-road without worrying too much about it. And I can do THAT for a lot less than $55,000.
To each his own; it's just not my cup of tea. |

Re: Sold for $55,000
not sure if it's worth 55K or not, but the guy should buy a spell checker with the funds, he probably would got a few grand more.
Here are a couple of my favorites: "Every peace of wireing was replaced with painless wireing" "plenty to cruse" "ceramic coated inside & out that run out to the bach side of the rear tires" "rear end to handle the monter tires" and of course the best for last... "Air ride techknogely" Sorry, couldn't help myself.

Re: Sold for $55,000
The real bottom dollar is $106,000 that's what he got for the truck, trailer and tow rig. It's going to Nebraska next week to the new owner. He also sold his very nice matching 66 Nova for around 35K last month and he's done all this to get his new company off the ground. Yes it is true that he doesn't use spell checker but he sure knows how to make the $$.

Re: Sold for $55,000
Yes, n2billet knows him very well. He has had his hands all over the truck, so he knows the truck too.
I just wish more people on this forum would take the same advice they are offering about using spell check.....
