Well here's the truck I'm talking about in the other thread (should I buy another truck?) You might want to get a hanky for this.

oh that sucks!!! So did you buy it?????? Now you can tell if or where they did body work like filling the mirror holes.

sgtjed · 12-10-2002, 05:17 PM

looks like a lot of cleaning but other than that looks pretty straight. might have to replace all the wires and plastic items,but if you get it cheap it would be worth it maybe.

low 84 · 12-10-2002, 05:18 PM

mabey they were just looking for an easy way to strip paint

So what's the problem? Shoot some clear and call it done!LOL

I would get it if I could hide it from the BOSS!

Low68 · 12-10-2002, 05:19 PM

that'd be a lot of cleaning

68 with 350 TPI · 12-10-2002, 05:20 PM

Hey Big O,
My friend Chris could use those trim rings if they clean up good

That sucks to see a truck like that.
Hows the tail gate

?
Should have good heat treated metal

hehehe.

dubie · 12-10-2002, 05:21 PM

ouch, i think that is to much work. It would be a nightmare to me anyways. The body doesn't look to bad but that interior was scarier than any horror movie i have ever watched

Just don't work on it in the garage it takes forever to get rid of that smell

hobby67stepside · 12-10-2002, 05:29 PM

I hope the seller is willing to give you pretty good money for taking it off their hands! :p

**StingRay** · 12-10-2002, 05:35 PM

Lots of good parts there if the price is right. Soda blast everthing and it not only cleans it up but the baking soda will get rid of the smell too. It's definitely going to be a frame up job though.

sgtjed · 12-10-2002, 05:35 PM

wow!!

lots of cleaning to do. but if its like around 500 then get it. you could always more out of it parting it out.

hehehe kinda looks like that plymouth off of that movie Christine.

70c10 · 12-10-2002, 05:48 PM

Wow, that truck belongs to Freddy Kreuger!. Go for it.

72step · 12-10-2002, 05:53 PM

Are you sure the metal's not warped? Looks pretty bad to me. How's the engine and tranny? I'd be real careful buying something like that. Just saying the metal is warped just a tad, and the engine and tranny are non-operable, they couldn't give it to me.

Custom 68 · 12-10-2002, 06:16 PM

new way to tint windows
sorry probably not the best post for humor. That is very sad It sure would be alot of work I am surprised the tires didnt burn up.
sad sad

JHickson6 · 12-10-2002, 07:08 PM

Yeah you better save her, she's been through a lot!

toms68cst · 12-10-2002, 07:15 PM

That's a sad sight!

I'd guess most of the sheet metal is toast. What's the engine compartment look like? I wouldn't count on much more than the basic drive-train and frame being usable if that. There's always someone looking for a good short frame so it might be worth a little $$$ in parts.

jays68yak · 12-10-2002, 07:20 PM

Hey the key is in the igntion. Somone might drive off in it with the keys are still there.

Thats a hard choice. If the metal is straight then that bed would be worth the price of the truck.

rusty ol' 69' · 12-10-2002, 07:21 PM

Dude the paints already peeling, just get a scraper and go to town. But I wouldn't even think of paying more than $100 for 'cause EVERYTHING needs to be redone. The only thing maybe worth saving out of that is the frame and body unless it got so hot it warped!!! I'd pass it by for sure. Just my .02

fast_dev · 12-10-2002, 08:07 PM

if it looks as good(solid and not warped) as it does in the pics, there is no doubt it would be at my house already for that price, the metal alone is worth way more than that in the rust belt. it really couldn't have been that hot yet, it didn't burn the tires, or melt the aluminum body side molding.
