Rescue or not???

[VonDog]

I have the chance to save this truck from the crusher but I definitely don't need another project! What do you guys think??
The low down: 350 w/unknown auto trans, newer exhaust, no starter, wiring nightmare. Body looks fairly straight, dents have been pulled and skimmed but needs a lot of sanding etc. Some minor missing parts. Minor rust on part of the rockers. floors are solid. Cab corners are good. Is it worth saving for $1200??im NOT asking wiw, just worth Saving! I'm normally on the 60-66 page so don't know too much about the 67-72. All thoughts are welcome!

Get it running. In my area that is a easy $4000 dollar truck.

Or sell it as a roller with spare parts you don't want for $2500

Honestly, if you're up for it, you could easily make your money back parting it out to guys on the board here. The tailgate alone would make a lot of guys here drool...

I'm all for restoring it, but that's just the worst case scenario!

This '67 small window should be saved....no crusher.

I vote for saving it.
Like others have said, you could easily get your money back plus more just from parting it out or spending some time to get it running. A truck like that is around $4k+ in my area.

Is there any wiggle in the price. I'd offer $500.00, but sometimes that screws things up. You make an offer and get the seller mad, then never have another shot at buying it...

bingo!

seriously doubt it's worth $1200 scrapped, so offer a bill or two over actual scrap value and everyone wins..

once you get it home, evaluate its worthiness for restoration to driver level or better and go from there..

if it boils down to a parts truck, take inventory and help others complete their projects..

members here are gushing with advice and help, doubt you'll do any worse than break even with fees, most likely better..

and end of the day, save a truck/parts that they're not making any more of

good luck with your decision!

[Jacoby]

Wheres it at? I'll buy it

[davepl]

In ten years that'll be a "gem" around here!

Assuming it's not full of bondo, the body looks good, I'd definitely save it!

[inline67c20]

I say save

[notsolo]

Solid AZ truck, Save it.

[flashed]

Save it .

Body looks good. '67 small rear window cabs are cool.
Not so sure about a Monojet on a V8, but you can upgrade the intake and carb, if the block is good.

why dose ever one put the alt on the wrong side.If you use Ram horn exhaust Manifolds Us the first year HEI plug wires from a Corvette 1973-74 was the last year Corvette used Ram horn's But used HEI first year Plug wires 1-3 an 2-4 go throw the fron motor mounts Cleans up the motor plus you don't burn up your wires

Now this brackets are for the 1960--68 trucks If some of you are using 194 or 202 corvette heads with no holes in the head this bracket works for them heads.with the Small 283-327 water pump this bracket works with them.they work with even the heads that have holes But you need the Ram Horn's driver side with the 2 bolts Most important

[stsalvage]

Now if you have holes in your head this Bracket work for 1955 --72 using the small 283-327 water pump reason the pulleys will not line up for the alt ps pump fan and crank pulleys this bracket is really fun to use they make 2 top brackets one the short one is for the car's the bigger one with the longer throw is the truck eather one will work Just need to find the belt that works with your system I will show the right Pulleys to use with them system Its the stock pulleys

[stsalvage]

Now for the Plug wires where to run them Use some WD40 spay into the boot litely pull on the boot slightly twist the boot while pulling on it and it will come free To re install the boots add a little WD40 to the boot and push it back on making sure the plug wire is face the engine so your spark plug will go in .

So here are you pics

[stsalvage]

These are the pulleys that work with the small block and the small 283-327 water pump Ya i'm working on better painted pictures buts it's all i have at the moment.This is the factory set up that makes all the brackets pulleys water pump exhaust manifold work on your stock chevy truck if your going to run Ram horns.Even if you updating to HEI i Have the pics to help you save time

[projectking]

[Old_Gold]

Glad to hear you're going to try to save it, solid truck like that would be a no brainer here in Iowa!

i recently sold a 67 longbed in about the same condition for $1400.00, if that helps. mine had original paint so all imperfections were out in the open.
