hello all i am back - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72SWB4X4 · 07-19-2005, 09:26 AM

I have been gone for about a year from the board

Been working to hard on the new businesses and house. I am thinking of selling the truck as to find it a good home, mamma says it has to go because I don't drive it. any suggestions ??

Craig

**Hart_Rod** · 07-19-2005, 09:27 AM

Pictures and price?

Rob

72SWB4X4 · 07-19-2005, 09:43 AM

pictures are on my signature and the question any suggestions is asking what price does the board suggest..

Craig

phlegm · 07-19-2005, 09:51 AM

If you dont need the money, keep it. That classic is in great shape, it will be hard to replace in a few yrs when you miss it.

**JIMs70GMC** · 07-19-2005, 10:08 AM

Start driving, if that's the only reason to get rid of it.

**Hart_Rod** · 07-19-2005, 10:12 AM

I might be interested, depending on the price. Is the truck in the Keys or is it in Oregon? Has there been any rust past or present? Does it have any current mechanical problems?

Rob

72SWB4X4 · 07-19-2005, 10:22 AM

Yes just like any other 33 yr old truck it has had rust problems in past. it was restored in 1991 right before I purchased it buy the original owner very classy paint need an update on the outside as both bend oregon and key west sun have taken a toll on it. No mechanical problems except the windsheild washer will stick on once in a while..

Very nice looking truck you are gonna regret selling her but you gotta do what you gotta do, I like the gas tank doors on both left and right sides, do you have dual tanks or is that just to access tank on either side..

tomatocity · 07-19-2005, 03:10 PM

very nice truck. Mmm, 454! what is your asking price?

LUV2XCLR8 · 07-19-2005, 03:13 PM

Drive that baby

cheyenne10 · 07-19-2005, 03:28 PM

Some us us remember you and your truck. Send that baby back here to home in Oregon, I promise to take extra good care of her and send you pics once in a while. If shipping wouldn't be a killer it would be nice to have a short 4x4. Keep us posted on your plans.

sleepyboy · 07-19-2005, 03:39 PM

you'd be crazy to part with it.

QKENUF4U · 07-19-2005, 05:12 PM

72SWB4X4 · 07-19-2005, 10:06 PM

Craig

krue · 07-20-2005, 12:45 AM

Here's what you do, put an outrageous price on it, then when it doesn't sell, tell the boss lady that you're not gonna just give it away.

Castiron9 · 07-20-2005, 10:17 AM

Sell the wife ........keep the truck...............

You could alsways give it to me as a gesture of comradeship.

**BOSS** · 07-20-2005, 02:41 PM

Wife would be easier to replace then the truck

rambler · 07-20-2005, 03:17 PM

nice looking truck,,, good luck

Dano69c10 · 07-21-2005, 01:01 PM

My wife wanted me to sell my 69, when she found out that I spent about $2k on the truck. She told me to sell it for 2k (she didn't want to take a loss). Of course you can never sell a truck for how much money you put into it. It didn't sell and I convinced her that it was cheaper to keep it. She still didn't buy it, so we went to look at new trucks and when she saw how much money we would be spending on a new truck she backed off. I still have the 69.

It a fugly truck and that's why she wants it out from in front of the house, so I talked her into a paint job at the end of summer.

I think the best advice is to price it high and wait till she gets over the idea...
