50th Anniversary freaks What to do? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

akbat · 01-16-2005, 03:36 PM

I recently bought a decent 68 with a 71K20 frame and a later 1 ton drive train.

I later discovered this body to be from a 50th anniversary C20 with lots of original options still attached, including gold and white triple bucket seat and a factory tach.

I feel the body should be kept together, since there is a 68 title with the truck. I have a spare 66 c20 frame which could be used to recreate the 396/turbo350 Camper special.

Any 50th Anniversary freaks out there? Trying to find the right home for this project. Contact me at akbat@gci.net for more info.

CONGRATS, WOULD HAVE LUV'D TO HAVE BOUGHT THAT TRUCK,
I THINK THE SHIPPING WOULD HAVE KILLED THE DEAL, ALSO LET
ME BE THE FIRST - WELCOME 2 THE BOARD FROM WEST 10-UH-C

akbat · 01-16-2005, 03:43 PM

I bought this truck for the drive train, which is being used to update my grandads 66 K20.

**PICKMUP** · 01-16-2005, 03:54 PM

Looks like some nice parts, but without the original number matching frame, it is just a 68 Chev/parts.

Thnxs PICKMUP

Sounds like I need to let go of the sentimentality and dump the parts.

meathead95 · 01-16-2005, 07:57 PM

i am interested in the seats pm me if you want to sell them.

stllookn · 01-16-2005, 10:47 PM

Did Meathead beat me to the seats?

What are your plans for the tow hooks????

akbat · 01-17-2005, 01:48 AM

Stllookn and Meathead

I haven't given up on the notion that someone wants a 50th Ann, so I want to kepp the seats with the body

Jesse72 · 01-17-2005, 09:41 AM

If you want to get rid of the factory tach guages let me know crazyracer31r@aol.com do you have any other parts for sale?

**special-K** · 01-17-2005, 10:09 AM

I`d find another drivetrain(not too hard,right?)and keep that the way you bought it.I`d think it would bring good money complete.Even if it`s a hybrid.That`s a cool truck.I`ve contemplated using 67-72 4wdrivetrains to put under earlier bodies.But,decided I can`t,too classic.I`d use more common 73+ drivetrain for this.Just my opinion.

spencra · 01-17-2005, 10:59 AM

Hey Ron, welcome to the board. You won't recognize my board name but I contacted you when you had your truck on e-bay. I'm a little surprised that somebody didn't bid on the parts, the prices were very reasonable in my opinion. I would say that 99% of that had to do with your location. If you really want to sell it I believe that the only way you would be able to do it whole is locally, unless you would be willing to ship and somebody would be willing to pay the shipping charges. If you can't do it that way I would suggest parting it out for shipping. You should easily be able to get what you were asking for the whole thing on e-bay with just the buckets and tach gauge. Do some research on the parts board to see what they go for, they go up for sale alot so you shouldn't have trouble finding something comparable. If you were within driving distance I would help you out but you have to be at least 4000 miles away.

If you need any info or advice just PM me.

Good luck,
Larry

stllookn · 01-17-2005, 01:07 PM

Did you already pull the truck apart? If you are going to sell the entire truck what do you want for it? I've always wanted to make that road trip! Are you willing to trade for what you need?

akbat · 01-17-2005, 01:10 PM

The truck is in 3 parts, cab, frontclip and bed.

Deuce · 01-17-2005, 03:24 PM

How much do you want for the works??

Dan72cst · 01-17-2005, 03:57 PM

What do you want for it?
Are you selling everything except frame & running gear

hey now dan i was thinking this would be a perfect find for me and then i could buy yours

... so far best price i can find for shipping to seattle is 2500 bucks

akbat · 01-18-2005, 12:12 AM

I'll sell the works for $1500 on a rolling 66 frame to get it there.
I think $2500 for shipping is steep. It should be more like 1000-1200. I'll check around.

Sounds like a good deal. That body looks to be in excellent shape.

**too much stuff** · 01-18-2005, 01:03 AM

If you end up parting it out, let me know. I have a brother in eagle river who could pick up some parts for me. Thanks.

CG · 01-18-2005, 10:16 PM

i called a couple more people today and one was higher and the other a lil lower...man this sucks your so far away. ive been looking for a couple of months for exactly what your trying to get rid of. im looking at close to 4500 bucks now for all the 68 truck stuff plus shipping. thats alot more than i wanted to spend for a rather large project. too bad its not summer i would consider driving up. ive always wanted to take that trip. if you can find someone that will ship for a grand or lower on your end im still interested...thanks

That definately would be the perfect match for my truck. Whoever buys it should come look at mine (not trying to hyjack your thread, just getting excited about saving my 50th 4x4)

akbat · 01-19-2005, 02:13 PM

Maybe I should buy you 50th. What "pieces" do you have?
