Re: EBAY Nice '51 for the price

Having a Ford engine in it is going to keep the price pretty low. Some guys won't see it that way but to me it's an automatic 30% deduct on the value when you put something besides a GM engine in a Chevy truck

Re: EBAY Nice '51 for the price

I don't normally care for really custom trucks like that but I actually kind of like it. Engine choice seems odd to me but really its not a truck that a purist is going to be looking to buy anyway. Regardless of how it affects the trucks value, I'm am curious as to why he went with that specific engine.

Re: EBAY Nice '51 for the price

I dig it.

Having a Ford engine doesn't bother me. Part of building a custom is putting your own flavor in something.

How many old Fords have GM powertrains?

Not to mention how many custom rides have a Ford 9" spinning the rear wheels?

And the Ford engine would be a non-starter for me. Silly? Yeah, I suppose. I don't care

Well, apparently someone didn't care about all that. Marked as "sold" now.
