That box sure looks strange the way it was finished...............

smokekiki · 01-07-2004, 07:22 PM

Take it all off the back!All it needs is some headers thru the hood and paddle tires to make it look like a pulling truck.

1969 GMC · 01-07-2004, 07:24 PM

i really dont understand why in eBay auctions, these people type a description that is not only VERY vague, but also looks like a not so bright 7 year old typed it out. if you are going through the trouble of selling a vehicle on eBay, at least do everything possible to make it look favorable, including correct spelling.

and some one bid on it....wow.

Where's Teeitup? Garden City isn't too far,, I'm sure he can sell some parts off that thing.... I may drive there, just to see it in person... looks strange!

dinnut · 01-07-2004, 08:36 PM

that thing has been on ebay before. ive seen it on this board before in fact. sounds like the wife is selling and doesnt know anything about it

**old Rusty C10** · 01-07-2004, 08:41 PM

there was a seventy three plus on ebay like that a few months back it had a wrecker in it tho so that explains the short rear in it

My guess is this is a non-native English speaker.

Sounds like the wife does'nt know ANYTHING at all!

*Gee_Emm* · 01-07-2004, 09:03 PM

What exactly did he use for bedsides, I cant figure it out.

griesel72 · 01-07-2004, 10:01 PM

I believe Earl Junior is right, Garden City is a huge meat packing town, and has one of the largest Populations of Mexican/Kansans in the state.

iluvmy72 · 01-17-2004, 04:19 AM

LOL....I'll bet the pullys have chrome paint on them

Longhorn Man · 01-17-2004, 09:13 AM

Not only did some one bid on it, but someone bid $2,900 for it!
silly wabbit.
Uglier than a mans ass.

cdowns · 01-17-2004, 11:02 AM

that's at least the 3rd time it's being run on ebay
the only good thing i can say about it is it does show the importance of an education

toms68cst · 01-17-2004, 02:33 PM

2900 for that Boz-alled contraption?? It's not worth much more than the sum of its parts IMO.

lukecp · 01-17-2004, 03:03 PM

I posted it last time it was on Ebay.....and the price was $180,000!!!!

Glad to see it is much lower now...but still a hideous truck.

BLAZERMAN · 01-18-2004, 07:26 PM

Something real fishy about this seller, the truck sold and is now listed again, it looks like they have someone running up the bid for them. If you look at there feedback the truck was sold awhile back and the buyer figured out afterword the truck was butchered and left negative feedback.

CG · 01-18-2004, 07:49 PM

could almost make a wheelie truck out of it with the rear end so far back...odd looking thing thats for sure

terrym1 · 01-18-2004, 08:14 PM

looking at the lmc bookpage 10 chassis id. it is 1971 8 cylinder half ton step side pickup box. Built in St.louis
just some fyi terrym1

mocwon · 01-18-2004, 09:18 PM

1969 GMC, you got that right. I had a difficult time even reading the description.

toms68cst · 01-18-2004, 09:47 PM

Feedback from previous buy.

"LOOK AT TRUCK SAYS ITS A SHORTBED AND ITS A LONGBED CUTOFF BEHIND REAR WHEEL BAD "

How could that not be obvious??

s95930 · 01-19-2004, 12:06 AM

I wish I knew the story behind that one.

cochran63 · 01-19-2004, 12:26 AM

I dont know what is but I kinda like it....maybe i should go and check my temperature now
