Thanks for the correction. I didn't know if I was right or wrong, you just don't hear of too many people running a rear end like that. At least I haven't.

And I agree, 16.5k is pretty cheap for what that truck is. Look at some of the ones on ebay and they aren't half as nice and people are asking for more.

Personally, 16.5 is dead on if not a little low. THe details could be cleaned up, but the fab work involved in at of the modifications such as the fuel door take time and skill to achieve. Which amounts to money in the end. Maybe some feel the Lt1 is too old now, but when he put it in it may have been the ls2 of the time, as well as the wheels were in fact in style. I remember stuffing a '96 LT1 with a six speed manual in a '95 S10 back in 2000. That was still a "new" engine and cost me a pretty penny. Everyone has a price they think is fair, but I agree with mike. Until you build a few of these things buy hand yourself it is hard to put a price tag on things.

Well to me that's avery nice truck and if I had the money i'd buy it .

[sleric77]

I'd like to know how he got the compressor and the alt. on the same side. I also have an LT1 in my 67 and I'm catching the devil trying to figure out how to run my a/c lines being that the stock compressor on those engines are at the bottom .

[dieselarmy13]

Correct prices:

eBay: $16,500


Barett-Jackson: $33,000


His asking price might seem a little high, but I can guarantee you , he's got more than that into it, and if he doesn't, he did everything himself. The bottom line is, it's a damn nice truck. The motor might look a little goofy, but LT1's are no joke. And if you have $16,500, I'm sure the guy would let you put anything in there that you wanted!

[killer71]

70rs/ss...wow!!! You said it...bluntly, but you said it and i'm afraid i have to agree with you! $16,500 sounds fairly priced in my book!

barret jackson has killed the classic car market because they have these high dollar cars on their tv show and now every bloke that has a classic pos thinks that it is a 1,000,000 car

I am pretty sure that is the stock configuration for the Corvette because of ground clearance. Caprices and Impalas had the compressor on the bottom. They sure do run!!! Check out Lowbuk on page 21...

I'd pay $16,500 for it.

70 rs/ss said it all.
I could probably buy the truck and do some work and detail work on it. Bring it to Texas and make some money off of it. I just finished a 67 swb fleetside for a guy at work and i have almost $6000.00 in it. He just wanted it a driver where he could take over and have paint and bodywork done. And it looks like S..T. I just took some pics. the last few days. I think i will post them to see how much hell i will catch. And i have probably had about 40 of these trucks in some sort of driver quality. From work trucks to frame offs. So i know how much they cost. I sell new and used parts also. So it is not like i have to buy retail. New bumpers alone went up about $20.00 dollars each. It takes a lot more to build a truck today than last year for sure. Just my two cents.

This is one of the reasons we chose our club name! If you ever try to sell one nobody wants to pay anything for em!























Yep! That's a nice truck!

yea what he said!!!!

[special-K]

I wouldn`t give $500 for this Cheyenne,Chuckle`s,Asa`s,or any other truck for that matter!!

I just ain`t got it.

[68shortstep]

Let's see: $ 16,500, Huh ?

I've got about half that much in mine right now.

And my ride appears to be only about a fourth or maybe a third as nice (being generous to mine) as that one looks to be.

Let me sharpen my pencil stub & do some math .........

Yep, if mine ever does get to to where it looks that good, I believe I'm gonna come out "ahead," if it's a money-spending race.

I saw this truck at a cruise in tonight and it is super nice!

Oh.....and the belt isn't on backwards either. It goes around some of the pullies with the ribs facing the pulley and some with the slick side facing the pulley.

Again, Super clean and probably well worth the asking price.
