HeavyD · 03-29-2005, 10:41 PM

Wow..thats pretty rusty.

Russell · 03-29-2005, 10:42 PM

Ok, now for the description:

The truck's body is very rotted, as you can see. The fella who came to talk to me (a hispanic guy, not the guy I got on the phone) didn't know anything about the truck, and wasn't very helpful at all, it was a challenge to convince him to unlock the truck for me.

The interior is LOADED with stuff, some of it electrical power tools, old bumpers grills from a newer truck etc etc. For the most part, most if it could probally be dropped at the dump on the way home.

The truck would not start when I was there. I didn't take any time to try and figure it out, but I suspect the points dizzy. Has what appears to be a fairly recently rebuilt (aka, very clean) q-jet. The fella had no idea what engine it was. It does have an auto, but I have no idea what kind. The exhaust is very ratty, held together with tin-foil in some places. The interior has buckets from some other vehicle in it. Seemed like a very base model truck.

I am not sure how much they are asking for it, but chances are it is too much. I personally would not pay more than 3 - 5 hundred for that truck, even though it is a panel, and even rarer yet, a GMC panel.

The hood is not attached to the truck, it is just sitting there (no hinges) and the frame seemed ok as far as I could tell. Definitely rusty, but not rotted or seriously pitted anywhere. The body mounts look like a bunch of old leather belt chunks stacked ontop of eachother.

classicchev · 03-29-2005, 11:25 PM

, just makes the one in Seattle look even better, s%#T. Hes asking 1800

after looking at the pics, I dont think I would go over 4-500. Here is the guys number if anyone is interested 780 907 7211. Good luck to whoever..

Thanks Russell for the shots, very cool of you to go and ckeck it out for me. If you ever need anything in the Calgary area, please email or call me. Ill be up in Edmonton for the Cart races in July, you going?? Anyone going, maybe we could meet up there.

Thanks Again, Darren

Russell · 03-30-2005, 12:10 AM

1800?! Holy smokes that guy is on crack... Not even close to being worth that much...

And as far as cart races go, sounds like fun, since I am not far from the city at all, I can probally show up one night

There is going to be a board meet in Calgary during the stampede though, I'll be there for sure

classicchev · 03-30-2005, 12:19 AM
