EDIT: and hes got the stepside bed for it, and a stepside bed off a just restored then wrecked it truck he sayd he'd give me either one cause hes puttin a fleetside bed onto the wrecked truck

[pete29]

one sweet MACHINE! Looks good. I'd run it that way for a few hundred thousand miles at least.

[oldblue1968chevy]

i kinda wonder how it'd clean up...

im 16, cash dont flow easy...already got 1 project, it runs drives fine but still wanna mod it.....i buy sell fourwheelers fix em up turn round sell em make a few, that pays for gas insureance..and maybe a lil pocket money lol...this would kinda dip into my ATV fund for parts and diff. atvs...but i really want it.....dont have a big knowlege of vehicles but know what to look for lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

and this is what he sent me in the reply email

Sorry it took so long to email you back my computer has been giving me problems. I have sent pictures of the rust on the cab of the truck. yes the truck runs good and drives. The cab is in the shape of a typical 70 truck. it is 40 years oldm so yes it has rust. If you have any more questions just let me know you can call me anytime. (931) ***-****

You may want to remove the link in your first post then, as everyone can clearly see it regardless. I don't know how plentiful SWB 4x4's are there, but it would probably sell fairly quick around here.

[oldblue1968chevy]

its been on there awhile...1/2 of the time without a picture lol

yeah i thought that i added the link to the add and thought how stupid i am

o well lol but thanks for lettin me know....what do yall think....it kinda seems high..because i bought my lwb 2x4 with a fresh rebuild for 1500 but then again it was 2wd...idk lol keep the opinions commin

[oldblue1968chevy]

cmon fellers lol i know im being hasty but i kinda want this but dont wanna make a wrong decision.......wats it worth to yall?

[Shane]

That's NOT a $1,000 truck around here ... and I'm not the far from you.

[rockc]

if it were me I would check the numbers on cab and title. might bring that around here if numbers are good

[lowbucktruck]

That truck looks a lil rough. I'd check the gear oil in the pumkins (diffs) and the transfer case really close for metal fines before parting with any money. How's the frame?

[oldblue1968chevy]

i dont really know on the frame...surface rust, as i said i ditn check it closely just in awe of all the other trucks and stuff lol

[Skirkpat]

Would be a great truck, if you want to sink probably 4 or 5 thousand in it, I would pass on that one, especially if you are not flush with money right now, remember you are 16, you are going to find hundreds if not thousands of things you want, keep your cash until you find something you have to have, not just want. JMO

[67ChevyRedneck]

I had 3 trucks when I was 16. I had a 58 Chevy Apache shortbed from SC, a 67 C-10 that came from SC, and an 86 Toyota truck from NY. I lived in NY at the time. I drove the 67 in the spring/summer/fall, as snow allowed, and the Toyota in the winter. I didn't "finish" the 67 until I was 26, and I ended up giving my dad the 58 last year and he hasn't really touched it either.

To be honest, all I see is a decent frame and running gear. $500.

How nice is this "just restored" stepside bed? Will he raise the price for it, or stay at 1K? I'd offer $800 for the whole truck with the nice bed

[maddog1331]

If it were me ( bear in mind im a sucker) I would have no problem paying 1000 for it, IF it runs and drives, even if not well. But, you have to keep in mind your finances.

Technically, I could afford to buy a ferrari (if financed), but then I would not have money enough to eat probably.....so if it really puts a dent in your finances and style of living, don't do it. There will be other trucks man

I'm not real knowledgeable on the short 4wd steppers but the front bed mounts look awfully close to the cab to me and it looks like the side of the frame may have been welded on under those mounts.(first pic) Shortened maybe??? I would look at that real close....

Have to agree here. Possibly a blazer frame with a pickup body? Look at how close to the cab the spring mounts are also. Its really up to you though. If ya got it and ya want to spend it go for it. Its not like you can take it to your grave with you. Ive had lots of fun in mud holes with ol rusty truck about to fall apart. Some women like it!!!

[67ChevyRedneck]

Good call, y'all might be on to something....

Here's a pic of my factory shortbed frame with the bed off, there should at least be a couple/few inches between the front bed mount and back of cab...




BUT... I thought blazers used a completely different mounting system than shortbed trucks? The mounting locations match my cab... just too far forward... so could it be they improperly whacked down a longbed? Again, I am NO blazer guy, I just thought they used different mounts. Could be totally wrong and it could be a blazer frame. The front wheels look "correct" in the wheel well, soooooooo????

[67ChevyRedneck]

I think I can see what Leon is seeing... does this look like a cut/weld to anyone else?

This could be the reason there is currently no bed on the truck, even though he has 2 extras. The frame is too short! I'm gonna vote a great big fat PASS!

[heavy71chevy]

800 with a bed..no more..that thing is pretty ruff exspecially with a possible hacked frame

[tekno62]

Here I was thinking of a $500 offer and see if he jumps. If he cut the frame short then you'll have to have a flatbed or fix his mistake.

Offer the $500 and see how hungery he is.

[724x4a/cchevy]

I'd pass. Looks hacked to me. Pretty much all you are buying it for is the chassis and motor and the chassis looks questionable.

[bad421]

I'm thinking $500 tops, you could beat on it a little bit and have fun even if the frame is to short, and if you want a 4x4 you could always use the running gear and frame brackets on your current truck and make a 4x4 if thats what you wanted to do. JMO

[Sinister]

I'd pass and work on the truck you have.

[69chevybmx]

seems a bit rough for 1k, even with a running engine.
