Am I Being A Blockhead?

So I have been running a WTB on Craigslist looking for GMC Big V6's. I got a call from a guy with a '61 K10 (yes, 4X4) and a '63 K20 (yes, 4X4) - both with 305's as well as a core 305. $1000 takes it all. While I am not too hot for 305's (mainly looking for 379, 401, 432, and 478's), should I buy the trucks just to get running and flip them?

The '61 body is rough. Not a straight piece of metal and the typical floorboard/fender/cab corner rust. Being a Montana truck, the frame is solid.

The '63 is similar, just not quite as many dents.

Is this something I can make a decent amount of money on just by dinging them up and flipping them?

Re: Am I Being A Blockhead?

Can you show some pics? 1K for both isn't to bad imop. Course...if I got them I'd be making them run and driving them. lol But I completely agree with the above comment. The 305 v6's seem to be kinda hot on ebay right now...I have seen them sell for more than they are worth several times. Makes it tough because sellers are getting to hot headed with the bigger v6's.

No pics at this time.

I would definitely get them both running and driving. I would have a hard time parting with the '63 but I would sell the '61 for sure. I'm thinking I should be able to get at least 1500 if not 2K out of the '61 even though the body is tired - it's not often you see factory 4X4's for sale.

That was another thing I was going to mention, factory 4x4's are pretty desirable. Might take awhile, but I am sure you'd get a bite.

Probably be harder to sell without pics.

Truth be told, I haven't seen them. They were basically described as "a little rough with minor rust". Knowing how eastern Montana ranchers are, I took that to mean "beat to hell with the normal cancer rust". But the 4X4 works on both of them.
