Truck for sale....definitely not mine! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**El Jay** · 01-15-2009, 04:40 PM

I spotted this thing about 4 blocks from my house, so I had to go back & get my camera.
Close up, it's not as pristine as it shows in the pix, but it is a clean truck.
The guy must be really proud of it because he asking $9K, which is pricey even around here.
Sorry about the poor qality, but the sun was almost directly behind the truck.

Richard H. · 01-15-2009, 04:48 PM

Uh, I see a lot of work there and I like the back , be interesting to know about the drive train.

**El Jay** · 01-15-2009, 05:35 PM

There was definitely a lot of work but there were a lot of flaws when I got up close; paint was just about worn through on the hood, big old chunk of paint missing on the top of the hood, right @ the front., etc.

There weren't any specifics on the for sale sign other than the price and a contact name & number.

It just wasn't $9K nice

rambler · 01-15-2009, 05:33 PM

looks good, but way over my price range,,, (which is about anything now a days... )

not sure if its worth it,, especially with all that gravel in the cab.

1LoC10 · 01-15-2009, 05:37 PM

looks good...did you drive by it in your GMC the first time, or did you go back to get that with the camara...lol
I know ive done that before, seen a 67 in a driveway, went back got my truck, and just drove by and waved..lol

Drove by it, went home & got my camera & came back.
The GMC is my only runner right now.

i bet 7500 cash take it

**special-K** · 01-15-2009, 07:28 PM

Looks like a bonified classic California Stepside from the`70s.Except for the queer tail lights.I like everything but those.Red would really set it off as well.
I think it`s worth it.Nothing to repainting the hood black anyway.It`s a sweet looking a/c equipped Stepside in wet black done tastefully.

larry may · 01-15-2009, 10:11 PM

EllJay didja get the phone number?

Post that phone number off the for sale sign. Id like to talk to this left coast seller.Nice ride.

**El Jay** · 01-15-2009, 11:03 PM

It's right there on the for sale sign!!!

No I didn't. I'll wander down that way tomorrow & see if it's still there. I think the owner might be a friend of the guy who lives across the street from where the truck was parked. That guy has a '69 & it wasn't there today.
I can try & talk to him too.

If the truck is there, I'll try to get some better pix.

fastwillie 696969 · 01-16-2009, 12:10 AM

leave a note on his w/s about the event saturday at in and out in rp

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-16-2009, 03:53 AM

Wow pretty sweet looking truck from here. Don't seem like a 9k $ truck to me either but who knows.

**special-K** · 01-16-2009, 06:54 AM

El Jay,what`s yer finder`s fee?

**El Jay** · 01-16-2009, 03:06 PM

Nothin'.

But if a bottle of Booker's bourbon happened to show it, it wouldn't be refused.

I'll try to remember that for all of the help you have given me!

I'd prefer you didn't.

I don't know the guy with the truck, & that makes all the difference in the world.

70rs/ss · 01-16-2009, 05:01 PM

Sorry, I meant help with my top, and the rugs, etc, not the truck, so I figure you deserve at LEAST a bottle, maybe two!

Friends help friends without even considering any type of payment.

We help strangers, too.
If the stranger wants to offer a token gratuity, that's fine. If he doesn't, that's fine too.

Kind of hard to explain over a computerfier. I'm just sort of old fashioned I guess.

thirdstreettito · 01-16-2009, 06:18 PM

Nice truck none the less though.

Yes, sir, it is a nice truck.
It's just IMO, it's not $9K nice; $6.5K, maybe even $7K, just not $9K

Like a friend of mine's later father used to say about selling cars, "There's an a$$ for every seat." And he was right. The seller just has to have patience.

Back to work, or I'll never get my truck ready for tomorrow.

72armyswbtruck · 01-16-2009, 08:08 PM

That there looks like a pretty decent truck. Classic driver, maybe even an easier repaint.
I agree $7500 or Best Offer.
