you can e-mail me them chevelle@bresnan.net looks like a good buy for 400 bucks. still have a motor/trans/ac stuff?

[oldblue1968chevy]

motor there he said it'll run with a battery, tranny was replaced 350 ci motor ac stuff looked to be all there..i think the heater box? (wat he called it lol) was missing...really just want the suspension stuff out from under it but i LOVE ORCHE/WHITE 3 TONE LOL and its gotta uncut dash..so idk but ima put the 5 lug stuff under mine...thanks i'l get u those pics asap!

[68350]

here ya be...





Looks like it has been sitting a while, so the suspension stuff will probably have to be rebuilt, but ya never know. i would buy it for 400 bucks.

[oldblue1968chevy]

last registered in 08 according to the tags...

has 26,xxx miles MUST'VE been rolled over lol

its got patina all over it!

would it be better to fix/drive it, or use for parts lol

he said it was sitting since last summer, the tranny failed so he installed new one, and hasnt got round to putting new driveshaft in..

[oldblue1968chevy]

hey is it a lwb or one of those longhorn things..cause it looks longer than my lwb 68 lol

[Josh]

It's a longbed. Depending on condition of the rest of the truck it could be parted or fixed and driven. Its definitely worth $400 in parts, the engine/transmission is worth what hes asking for it. If it was closer I'd be offerin to buy it if you didnt.

[oldblue1968chevy]

so its worth it?

ive got 360$ i can spend dont have 400$ lol unless dad will loan me 40 bucks....

ima go back tomorow after school and maybe try to pick it up this weekend....
without seeing it run/drive is it worth it? thanks

[71swb4x4]

If you don't quit sleeping on it someone else is going to buy it.

I am willing to bet that after you use all of the suspension pieces, you will be able to sell off the extra parts and MAKE MONEY on the deal.

[oldblue1968chevy]

really??!! lol

should i call him up right now and go runnin with my 360 bucks and scrou up nother 40 somewhere (only 16 cash aint too easy to coem by) and ive alreayd got 3 more projects 2 atvs and the blue truck lol

[oldblue1968chevy]

oh! and i can use all the rear end parts to put on my 68 to make it 5 lug and disc on front? tahnks

[Josh]

tell him you don't have but $350 and see what he says, never know might come home with ten bucks in your pocket...

[oldblue1968chevy]

'HECK YES!'

shesh i need to fill up the truck again in 1 week!! lol

should i call him now and tell him my situation lol i sorta kinda know him personally hes notta complete stranger...

so without hearing it run, its worth 400 dollars

[Grapdawg]

I would buy it if I had the money, Im kinda a impulsive spender and if I only had $350 I would grab the change jar hed to the bank for the rest and get the truck. I think these guys are right you could get your money back in parts and have the stuff ya need. Nice find.

[Sport/Truck]

It's not a Sierra Grande, but still worth $400. Are you awake yet?
s/t

[John Fabris]

Is the 72 a rear leaf spring truck, and your 68 a rear coil spring truck? if yes to both, then no, you will need to modify the 72 rear end by welding on perches so that it will fit onto the 68 trailing arms.

Worth $400 in parts in my opinion.

[oldblue1968chevy]

dang! well i'll still probably get it, dad dont think i should lol he said i'll have a junkpile somewhere in the yard...but im thinkin ima prolly buy it lol

on the bedsides it says grande......

EDIT, the other bedside you cant see lol

[Sport/Truck]

Well maybe it is. do you have a better picture of the SPID?
Your looking for a Z17 code.
s/t

[texanidiot25]

For 400, you could easily make that back in parts.

[oldblue1968chevy]

no man...i wasnt thinkin i wsa too excited i had a phillips screwdriver in my toolbox in my truck lol...

but the owners son drove it last year for a lil bit....and installed a cd player and mounted in right on top of the left half of the spid.......ima go back tomorow after schoool and proly come back with it

so yall think i'll be able to get wat i need and break even? or keep it..im startin to wanna have my neighbor chop the frame for swb.....love 71 72 2 tones...

[texanidiot25]

for 400? Easy.
