Good eye, I didn't even notice that, the intake did look funny tome though.
Tall deck would make it a 427 or a 366, neither worth much in stock form, and very expensive to hop up. The 366 is a waste of time to hop up, but the 427 tall deck can be built into a mountain motor.
The steel crank in the 427 tall deck is worth some coin.

I agree. Thats a tall deck engine. For 5 bills this truck is a steal. I think you could double your money on the truck.

Dano69c10 · 10-06-2007, 11:44 PM

I want one of those. I'd buy it, but the roof looks trashed and the frame looks like it's sagging.

Ugly but way cool for 500 I think I would pick that up.

Peter82 · 10-07-2007, 01:47 PM

well if you buy it and want to get rid of some parts i'll take a driver side and passanger side door off your hands. and the drivers side hood hindge.

**Hart_Rod** · 10-12-2007, 11:52 PM

I paid wwwaaaayyyyyy more than 5 bills for mine. Better jump on it.

OBTW, beauty is in the eye of the beholder,

caminokid · 10-13-2007, 12:38 AM

What would be cooler would be a longhorn bed on there too. Just to make it longer.

68GMC454 · 10-13-2007, 01:53 AM

for 500 i would never have even dickered on the price i would have just counted out the bills...i would kill for one of those trucks...ans as for the 58 bug,,i would get that to,,nothing better than a old bug..i know that can turn some money on a resell if its not completely rusted out...and as for not being able to park them in my driveway,,that why i could never live in cali,,,

75shortysocal · 10-13-2007, 07:45 AM

thanx hart rod.... im totally getting it now!!
even if i have to register and insure it just to park it on the street... it is for the most part 100% complete, and 100% original... there only seems to be 2 mojor propblems... 1, the frame looks to be sagging, the roof panel needs to be replaced...so ill need to buy 2 roof panels and make one replacement one...small price to pay...

i hope nobody thinks im a jerk for talking him down to 300...lol

impala_631 · 10-13-2007, 08:54 AM

lots of potential right there

Yeah,that's the first thing I noticed in the pic. You might want to crawl under there and have a look-see.Those old welds where they extended the frame may be rusted out or something.

caminokid · 10-13-2007, 10:22 AM

I say if you can talk him down to 300.00...go for it! Thats 200.00 more you can put into it later.

**Hart_Rod** · 10-13-2007, 05:32 PM

You'll probably want to use a roof section from a suburban to fix the top. As far as the frame, I built a new one using as SWB for the rear and using the front section from a LWB. Check out my link.

bad_turbo · 10-13-2007, 06:41 PM

definitely a project, but worth the effort. Besides, if you decide not to invest all the money into it, somebody here will take it off your hands.

LOW DOUGH · 10-13-2007, 09:03 PM

you should get it. I would

xshadow · 10-13-2007, 09:45 PM

I like the black one in hart rod's pics. I think it looks better without the v section between the doors...I think this would make a bad a$$ truck lowered or as a
4x4......make it a 6 or 8 door and it will be kinda like a limo....just kidding about the limo thing but as for lowered or 4x4 without the V section it would be sweeeeeeeeet

75shortysocal · 10-28-2007, 05:57 PM

im heading out to take a closer look at it today again,... i hope to DRIVE it home... owner says " it starts, just missing a harness"

bad_turbo · 01-28-2008, 04:04 AM

**phase_one** · 01-28-2008, 05:37 AM
