Would you buy it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chrislehr · 08-24-2008, 12:03 PM

396, 3/4 ton, PS, no AC, wood LWB

Runs, straight body, wants $1500.

I might go look later today...

sandking · 08-24-2008, 12:11 PM

Looks like a great buy to me.

jonnybravo · 08-24-2008, 12:14 PM

definitely

*ksjh1316* · 08-24-2008, 12:17 PM

Not a question about it if it ran and was as rust free as it looks in the pics bring a trailer

ANTHONY 67 · 08-24-2008, 12:26 PM

Do It Do It.

Arad68 · 08-24-2008, 12:32 PM

Looks like a good deal. Check for repairs and signs of previous rust. The pictures show that it was cared for at one time or another. How much do they want?

Sorry, I missed that. Still looks like a good deal.

**70cst** · 08-24-2008, 12:42 PM

Looks like a very solid truck for $1500. If you want ac you can always add that. If you are in the market for a good clean truck at a good price that might be the one.

thirdstreettito · 08-24-2008, 12:32 PM

I'd buy it then finish it with that nice paint on the bedside.

Looks like a good ride to me.

streetstar · 08-24-2008, 01:43 PM

In the past, i myself have paid more for less, so yeah -- i think its worth 1500 if you have a use for it

**El Jay** · 08-24-2008, 01:46 PM

It looks like a decent deal from here.
Just take a magnet and check for Bondo in all the usual places

drivethechevy · 08-24-2008, 02:19 PM

deffinately looks like a good deal to me

sleepertruck72 · 08-24-2008, 02:24 PM

Lowered, 3/4 ton, flat black ,396, I would buy it ! I would offer him $1000 and a bottle of whiskey to seal the deal

Even at 1500 thats not a bad deal it looks better than my truck

chrislehr · 08-24-2008, 06:44 PM

Took more pics...

He is in the process of rubbing off the primer down to the original olive color.

It's NOT a 396, but a 454. He found that out when the starter went and he had to take it to Autozone to have them guess at it until bolts matched up.

Video coming...

I passed on it. I have a friend considering. If he passes on it, I told the owner I would post up his email/phone for anyone interested on here. He had no idea of the board...

**El Jay** · 08-24-2008, 07:36 PM

If I can be nosy, why did you pass on it?

It looked like a real decent buy out here on the left coast.

1) i dont have 1500 atm
2) Its a 454, not a 396
3) Owner told me the PO had dropped his driveshaft 3 times from failed u joints (454 not a good match to a th350? I dunno)
4) the laser beams from my womans eyes HURT.

Husker · 08-24-2008, 07:22 PM

Yep, Looks like a nice truck for the $$

chrislehr · 08-24-2008, 08:21 PM

Like I said, a friend is currently trying his damnest to buy it (hes in college, and scraping the cash together by tmrw, hopefully)

If he doesnt take it, I *will* send the email/phone to anyone interested.

72BlckButy · 08-24-2008, 10:27 PM

Looks like a nice deal to me, hope your buddy comes away with it!

knsmodels · 08-24-2008, 11:09 PM

Kurt L · 08-24-2008, 11:23 PM
