Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
Nice truck, that is one of my favorite colors and I love patina! Hopefully I'll see it around at some shows here in MD.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
I picked up one of my trucks this morning and took a look at yours while I was there. It really looks like a nice truck. Definitely one if the more solid trucks sold over the weekend. Btw not sure what your shipping arrangements are but we got 2-3 inches if rain across the state last night and that place is an absolute disaster! You're sitting in a fairly dry spot but the whole lot could stand a couple days to dry out.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
My boss (huge car and truck guy-bid on a lot but didn't win) has been telling the story of my purchase since Saturday. I've driven in 2 Power Tours (65 Skylark, 08 Trailblazer SS) and am 2 years into a 65 Rambler Classic (406SBC, Ford 9inch,3:50 gears) I work a lot, am on the road a lot (drive 35k miles a year) and can't wait to dig into this C10 and share my build with you!!

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
You may not need the stuff from Harbor Freight. Last time I used a car hauler from Uhaul it came with everything I needed. Even an electric wench. Was one of the nicest trailers I have ever used.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
Nice buy! My buddy went to bid on the green mid 70's Chevy right beside it and he told me it went for $20,000! It had only 4 miles on it he said.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
A one of a kind experience. The line up of 63 and 64 low mile trucks were definitely cool to see. Prices were up and down but I think it is what the buyer sees in it. It could be a historic purchase or just that right truck that determines the prices paid. I was glad to have made the trip.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
Arrived in Pierce, NE at the field on Friday at about 3:15. About 100 cars still there.
Wind was brisk, field was muddy. There was a tractor trailer being loaded by a big tired high/low forklift that picked the cars right off the spots then onto flat beds. We did a walk around of the truck with photos and video. We determined there was a lot of solid sheet metal there. Nice. The door handles were broke with the push buttons wedged in about 2 inches in the doors. Pulled on the passenger door and it opened. Found a newspaper from 1974 behind the seat. The odometer read 27,885. There was an Falstaff pull top beer can under the front seat and an empty pack of BelAir cigs. Under the hood we found a 283 V8, pulled the dipstick and the oil was clean. Had minimal brake pressure, easy steering, no radiator. Lower cab under sill plates are rusted the bed sheet metal is totally intact. It was a little surreal seeing all those cars randomly placed in the field. It looked a lot more like a junkyard than anything. Off in the distance was all kinds of mile high thunderheads which eventually turned into some tornados later in the day 25 miles north of us. We took a quick tour around the field and took a ton of pics. Then we got to work getting the truck on the trailer. Well about 2 1/2 hours into it with flat tires, mud and at 8 ton come along we has the front tires barely on the ramps and then a Nebraskan miracle happened. The guy with the forklift came by and asked if we needed help. While we waited for him a shower hit, then another miracle. A tire service truck was driving thru and we asked them for air. 'Sure, they said , $1 a tire good? I tipped him $10. These tires had cracks of dryrot so deep there was no way they would hold air. But they did. Then the forklift guy came by. I asked if if he was hired by Vanderbrink or if he was just out there to make some cash. He had been hired by the owner of the 7 cars on the tractor trailer, all going Houston. My friend Dave got in the C10 and steered while the forklift raised the back if the pick and pushed on the trailer in about 5 minutes. He had 2 small boys (5+6ish) on the running boards of the forklift, loving life hanging out with their dad. Got a great portrait if the three of them. He wouldn't take more than a $20 bill for his efforts , said 'Welcome to Nebraska, boys!!!' We lashed down the truck with 2 1/2 inch straps front and rear crisscrossed and headed to get a photo in front of Lambrecht Chevrolet at about 7:45. We decided to spent the night in Norfolk and get an early start. We are now on Rt 20, 3 hours from Field of Dreams movie site in Iowa. |

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
We decided to fly to Neb. Rooms were few and far between. Some people had to stay 2 1/2 hours away in Omaha. My wife did some calling and scored us a completely finished 800 square foot 2 bedroom walk out basement ,1 mile away. It had a Big screen, and a couch and lazyboy in the living room, Satellite in all 3 rooms and a fully stocked refrigerator. We paid $ 500.00 for up to 4 days for the 3 of us. The family was very friendly. They made us dinner each night and we watched History channel on the auction with them on Sat eve. They went to the auction on Sun. with us and my friend purchased a 68 pickup but it was cutting it close to make it back to the airport.Tyler the guy we rented from borrowed a trailer and picked the truck up and brought it to his place.He pulled the wheels to free up the rusted brakes and my friend is sending some good wheels and tires back with a shipper and the truck is coming next week. I felt like we were family and could not have had a nicer place to stay.Sure is nice to know there are decent people out there. We made a new friend in the process.

Re: Lambrecht Auction Purchase
Cool story. I wish I would have thought to get a picture in front of the dealership! I was just ready to get the heck out of there after wasting about an hour and a half loading my 69. Even with a 8 ton winch it was a nightmare. It pulled my 2500 chevy and trailer back about 5 feet before I decided to unhook the trailer and dig out the tires by hand then hooked a chain to my truck and yanked it loose. I had to drag it about 50 yards to a dry spot before I could get it loaded on the trailer. Definately something I will always remember that's for sure. Oh and by the way I found an old empty PBR beer can under my front seat too!!
