Take Two.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yet another 3/4 ton GMC in my yard...

Just picked it up for $100 bucks.

Has a good running 307 2 barrel with 350 trans. Clean body only a few dents in one quarter panel. It will definately need a new seat cover and dash pad for a clean interior.

Maybe clean up and put a new paint job on it or just drive as is.

Gotta love these old trucks = No second morgage required to have these babies!

Nice!
Time to throw a shot of N20 on it.

**WorkinLonghorn** · 01-12-2007, 11:58 AM

What's that blue stuff all over that brown paint job?
No seriously, THAT is a real find. Looks like a new bumper. Maybe some other newer parts in there? Any serious rust?

Mt Man Chad · 01-12-2007, 12:05 PM

All Origional parts, I purchased it from the origional owner. No accidents, No rust I can find yet except surface!!!! Clean cab corners - frame cab supports - fender wheel wells. Just some drilled out doors from numerous mirrors used over the years.

OK,I didn't realize it was such a mess.
I'll take it out of there for you for 150.

man thats a steal..looks like a darn good truck...i think i would end up selling that one for alot more,,and fix my old truck..lol..but then,,i would probably keep it so the old lady could nag at me for real...

**phase_one** · 01-12-2007, 02:26 PM

If you wash it, bag it, and put some 20's it would look like what i see in magizines these days.

Don't forget the "shop" sign on the door!

SERIOUSLY! NICE FIND! $100? Sure you didn't forget a zero in there? Sheesh, I'm jealous!

ghetto_superman · 01-12-2007, 02:53 PM

thats an AWESOME score. super clean!

Longhorn Man · 01-12-2007, 04:02 PM

better hurry up and transfer the title before tehy realize what they did and want it back.... awsome deal.

49studebaker · 01-12-2007, 04:48 PM

"Gotta love these old trucks = No second morgage required to have these babies!"
That's what I tell people...You can get it looking and running good for the same amount most would pay in taxes for a new one. The popular trucks around here are at least $40,000, at 6 3/4% sales tax, that's almost $2800. That doesn't account for registration and full coverage Ins.

Aarons72s · 01-12-2007, 07:34 PM

Great deal and sweet truck. I wish I could find deals like that around here. Way to go!

JAKES 68GMC · 01-12-2007, 07:42 PM

I'll give you 200 for it!

Nice find, definately worth a hundred bucks.

ghackett1 · 01-12-2007, 07:43 PM

Great grab. That truck would go for 2000 to 3000 here in south Florida. I need to move!!

chevybill · 01-12-2007, 07:56 PM

Great deal on that truck, are those pictures recent?
There is an awful lot of green leaves in Oregon and in January?

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-12-2007, 08:19 PM

Score

**jerry moss** · 01-12-2007, 09:39 PM

o.k., you guys forced me to up my bid, i'll give you 250.00

that's one hell of a deal in my opinion--you don't find those every day.
i think my best deal was a 72 super 3/4 ton 2wd, it had a 402, turbo 400, tilt, am/fm, cruise,p-s, p-b and a-c, it ran and i drove it home for 500 bucks. the body was total crap--even had bondo behind the seat above the gas tank from a prior rearender i guess, the frame was bent bad but the motor/trans and options were good money makers.

desertrat · 01-12-2007, 10:06 PM

Clean it up , paint it , new interior and trim and call it a barn find. make up a good story about the "one" owner "all" original truck and try and sell it on ebay for $20,000

. That's what everyone else is doing.

Than take it to a goodguys show and park it next to a $50,000 show truck that took the guy 5 yrs. to build and watch everyone look at you're truck and ignore the "show truck"

Man oh man you got a good deal - looks like a solid truck - thank the truck gods cause they treated you well!

Mt Man Chad · 01-13-2007, 11:29 AM

Actually I took the pictures in October but they didn't want to sell it then. Now they are short of cash so it forced the sale. I started asking them about in earlier this spring.....

Like the shots with big wheels!!!
Looks nice sleeper = with a BIG Block!
Umm Hummmmmm

Have a great weekend and happy wrenching !

Gray Ghost · 01-13-2007, 03:00 PM

That's a good deal!! All your good truck karma will disappear if you ghetto the truck though.

krue · 01-13-2007, 04:04 PM
